I am making a small 250 w coil powered by 2 identical 5kv/25ma open core and
coil neon transformers.
1. I noticed that neither will arc to the core and therefore appear not
center grounded. Are there issues with phasing the two in parallel? 

2. Should I ground the cores to the mains ground or the RF ground? With my
other coils I ground the case to the RF ground.

3. Even though it is small, I am installing a Cap and resistor style NST
protection circuit. Is this necessary ( I have the spare parts)?
