Ted,


Leaving maths aside, my experience suggests that this will work fine. 
BUT, I advise that you use a DECENT static gap in series with your 
RSG. I found that the higher BPS rsgs need super fast quenching. The 
high BPS tends to have a greater shorting action on the transformer. 
The use of a good airblast or vacuum gap will reduce this somewhat by 
decreasing the dwell times. My old asrsg used to melt 5mm tungsten 
electrodes like butter. The series static gap helped in this regard 
also. You will find that dwell time and quenching is much more 
important with an asrsg.

Cheers,

Greg.
