Re: tranny
Hello all,
This is sort of related...
How about a three-phase tesla coil? If one has a three phase transformer,
and access to said three phases, couldn't a TC system be built around a
SG to sequentially fire each phase, three pulse cap banks, and a single
pri/sec?
I've never heard of anyone building such a system, but it has been
floating around in my head for a while, though I don't forsee ever having
the neccesary access to three-phase AC to try the idea out. Hmmm...
You certainly would have a much higher (total)break rate, though each cap
bank would only see 1/3 of that. 360bps (300bps) with as much power in
each bang as 120bps (100bps) would give with 60(50)Hz. Mightn't it mimic
a DC coil at lower break rates?
