Hi Stan...


Snippp.....



if your coil was capable of 1MV and it did hit the primary and the safty
gaps were too far apart the resulting strike would find its way back the
the cap system ( most likely blowing the caps ) IF the strike were to go
further ... into the transformer there wouldnt be much of a transformer
action but more of a direct arc to the primary and that into the case
ground  if no case ground existed then the house wiring could be the
next target.. BUT  it would have to make it past the caps first :)
