Richard,
The circuit breakers that are clearly labled 20 amps and did not trip at 35
and 45 amps are Square D. They were installed when the house was built about
8 years ago. I always thought they were a reputable manufacturer.
I completed the construction today on my wheeled cart for the coil with a
storage shelf underneath for the capacitor and the spark gaps - making some
progress toward getting outside.
As you know, I have been only using two eight foot ground rods thus far,
which I soak for about 45 minutes before firing the coil. For the new
outside location, I plan to install three rods in an area that has a french
drain that drains water from the backyard. It is usually damp at least on
the surface. I am also planning on installing one ground some distance away
as a ground for the 60 cycle - RF filters, variac cases, etc. Do you think
one rod is sufficient for this? I would think so. How much distance from
the main RF ground rods do you think I need?
