You have to build some type of safety into your system other
wise it will self distruct.  If a streamer hits the primary over
voltage can kill you transformer and caps.  The strike rail
prevents the primary from being struck by Lighting.  If you
don't use a strike rail then you will need some good safety
gaps.  I prefer the strike rail over the safety gaps.
