Correct .It is true also for spark unloaded secondary
operation (which is hated one by most of the coilers
of course) if you deal with ordinary BPS rates
(100-300) assuming usual Frs (houndreds of khzs).
However,Imagine situation with 10000 BPS or even CW
operation without spark breakout.
Having enough powerful power source energy can be
pushed into system faster than it is dissipated which
can lead to enormous voltages .
Sometimes it seems to me Corums might have on mind
such modus operandi of TC (but it isn't case.Is it?)
Anyway, everything described is too artificial,TC
should be operated on Moon (no atmosphere) or
somewhere...
Speaking for me ,I wouldn't call it TC system at all .
After all,what is a TC without secondary spark.

Boris
