RSG with 10 -12 electrodes running non-synchro at 1800 RPM on a 12" dia.
wheel seem to work fine from 6-15 KVA. The air generated by the 1/2
dia.
electrodes whirling around seems to do a fine job of quenching. With
larger coils it is very important to elevate the sec. for best coupling.
We run some of our systems with up to 4-8 inches of elevation above a
flat
copper tubing spiral. Not much performance gain noted at 3600 RPM.
Hope this helps out.
