Re: 48KWATT DRSSTC Warmup

sorry to say it, back I dont think so, I run an MMC using dubilier .33uf caps at 33kv out at 100 amps (240 volt ac), around 24 KVA for 15-20, 5 metre arcs for 15 minutes at a time with no problems, you build em big enough, they will last.

The MMC won't take this kind of power level. You will need to run the big Maxwells like we do on our coils over 6 kVA.

I thought I would share my newest creation, a 10kwatt DRSSTC @
http://users.cableaz.com/~chooper/images/fatboy1wred.jpg .

Since I use plexy, I thought embedding high output UV LED's would be
cool and looks like a spark gap running from the distance @
http://users.cableaz.com/~chooper/images/fatboyblue.jpg .

Little red DRSSTC (ran at the Cheesehead)is in front of new DRSSTC for
comparison, as the 10kwatter is almost 8 feet. 120 caps for the MMC and
is fan cooled as I push my MMC's to melt down....he he. First light is
this weekend.....then off to the 48kwatter DRSSTC...... first step of
the 48kwatter is the 9 foot by 3 foot secondary. 48kwatter DRSSTC will
also use a big, very big MMC; start soldering iron up indeed (maybe 500
caps or so)
