Re: Schematic...

Chip,
Nice drawings, -- wish I could make my CAD output look like that.
Electrically, neither of the drawings is typical of standard TC use.
The line (primary) side of the welder goes in series with the circuit
between the Variac output and the pig primary. In other words, break
the trace directly above the word "Drawing" in your JPG, and insert
the welder primary in series in that place.
If you were to use two welders, you would put another one in the
corresponding place at the top of the same circuit loop.
HTH,
Dave

OK. First, let me say this. I know I am ignorant of alot of thing
when it comes to electronics and building a tesla coil. That is why
I am here and asking so many questions. To learn. Noone here on this
board was born with any of this knowledge. We all have to learn what
we want to know at some point. So please be patient and kind to me.
I am trying to learn something here. There is a wealth of knowledge
and experience here that money can't buy. Not that I could afford it
if you could...OK..enough of that...
I have attached a pic of (2) schematics representing (2) approaches
to a TC curcuit with a ballast in it. By the way. I draw in Autocad
for a living. Please let me know which one. Drawing "A", or Drawing
"B", best represents the proper intruduction of a ballast into the
curcuit. Or if neither is a good example. Also let me know if you
see any other mistakes. Thank you...Chip
