Hi Everybody,

I don't have an RSG my self to try this on, but I had a thought.

What if...

You temporarily  replace the stationary electrodes on your RSG with metal
brushes,
wire the electrodes to a small battery with a series resistor so that current
would flow when the rotating electrodes bursh past the stationary brushes. Then
connect a dual trace scope so that the first trace is connected to your 110
A/C,
and the second trace connected between the RSG electrode and resistor?

You should see a nice sine wave on the top trace, and a pulse indicating
when the
RSG fires on the bottom allowing you to adjust the phase angle rather
accurately
without having to put your hands close to HV.

Think this would work???

Paul
