Re: bug zapper transformers



Hi Fucian,

	I have one and was thinking about making a coil out of it.  Mine is an
open frame current limited transformer that is pretty high quality with
vacuum impregnated HV winding and all.

However, It only puts out 3300 VAC at 7mA.  That's only 23 watts in a an
LTR coil.  Using John's formula, the arc length might be 8 inches but it
would need a sync gap and all to get it there.  It would probably run a
very small simple coil with 4 inch streamers.

Cheers,

	Terry
