Hello Fritz,

Charging voltage is the calculated peak voltage from the transformer 
values. This is the voltage at which the transformer attempts to charge 
the tank capacitor to.

The Percent Cp Charged is a percentage of the charging voltage. The 
static gap will conduct at some voltage based on the total gap spacing. 
This percent is based on the start time of charging the cap and the 
actual breakdown voltage. For example, if your charging voltage is 20kV, 
and your breakdown voltage (gap) is 10kV, then the cap will have charged 
to 50% of the charging voltage when the gap fires.

BPS is the pulse rate of the gap in the format of pulses per second. The 
gap spacing, charging voltage, and cap size will change this value.

You want the cap to fire as close to the charging voltage as possible 
without going over. This means adjusting the gap spacing of the static 
gap. The best way to do this is to take the transformer and static gap 
to the work bench connecting the static gap across the hv terminals of 
the transformer (no other components). Then adjust the gap spacing so 
that the transformer can fire consistently across the spark gap. For BPS 
with a static gap, I recommend near 100 bps for 50 Hz and 120 bps for 60 Hz.

Take care,
Bart
