Re: [TCML] Toroid Problems



I have been following this discussion with interest as my torroid is of a similar design, I am however curently having problems ataching it to my secondary. I noticed you used a pie trac but was wondering how you connected that to the torroid and secondary.

Great pics though.

Thanks

To be safe, do that the other way around. Connect an _insulated_ wire to the case FIRST, and then try to draw an arc from each terminal. Slowly bring that 'grounded' wire near each terminal and note about how far away it is when the arc first starts. Then slowly increase the distance and note how far the arc will go before it goes out. The two terminals should be equal, with the arc starting at about 1/4" to 1/2" and widening to an inch or more as you "draw" the wire away from the terminal. That's how you safely "draw" an arc.
