Re: series or parallel???

Hi Malcolm,

It was just a thought, I dont have much experience in dialectric breakdown and was looking at it from a model perspective where the 60 Hz dphi/dt generators are in series with the coil so the coil (in the model) could experience twice the voltage (+10000V from the generators and another 10000V from the capacitor).

I don't think it's going to happen. The timescales are vastly
different. The above would be predicated on the tank ringing
losslessy for a considerable time.
