Re: [TCML] Another NST question
No, don't series them. They will fail. Not designed for this abuse. They
are really designed to put out 12 kV for a few milliseconds to ionize the
tube gas, then drop back to around 600 volts and supply a constant current
of 30 or 60 mA.

Subject: [TCML] Another NST question
I thought I had read before that nst's shouldn't (couldn't?) be put in
series to double their voltage, that it would be too much of a strain on
the secondaries. But, we all know that there's some "wiggle room" in their
construction, otherwise we couldn't get away with removing shunts and
doubling the ma output. So assuming that one phases them correctly, is it
possible to series two of them together? I was thinking 2 9kv/30ma's to
give me about 18kv, slightly less if I don't drive it to 100%. I just chose
that size because I have them already. Thanks everyone for your input on
this.
Neal.
