Hi Terry,John
It is very important topic :Corona impedance.Me also
can hard belive that R=220 kohm is a fixed value in
corona impedance.It could be working in cases of
smaller coils but try it at bigger sy stems (Electrum
coil waveforms at http://www.lod-dot-org for example).With
minimum impedance of Zc=220 kohm in that model
applied (Xc=0) current sphere -arc would be only I=8
A at Fr=38 khz.The fact : Measured effective value has
been about I~20 A oscillating at Fr.My opinion is as
system size grows up considerably ,and energy level
too,R decreases.Good news is that 1.5 pF/ft still
holds well for most of the coils.
Just thoughts.
Regards,
Boris (planning to set up 5 kw coil for N.Year
celebration)
