 Hi everybody, I joined this list shortly ago. Beeing one of the
few Swiss TC-enthusiasts, I was watching it in the archives only,
for some time. Shure, it has helped me a lot, and the first thing
is to say a big "thank you" to many of you list-members.
Currently my TC coiling activities concentrate on a
8"twin-system, of which I'm getting 2.1m(82") sparks at the
moment. If you like to see more about it (-and me-), please have
a look at my homepage:

...at the same time, I have a probably very trivial question:
when I read about protection filters, NST's are almost always in
the center of interest. But: how ist the need for using those
filters for PT's and Pigs ? Is there a need loosing power for
filtering ?- I'm utilizing 16kV/100V PTs, and they are sized for
a lot of overvoltage.

P.S. forgive my "bush english".
