Hi Ted,

I use a 10 kVA pole pig system with 83 nFD and i find that
300 to 350 bps is about the best sparking range for me :-)
So I'm sure with your 88 nFD, an 800 bps ceiling is ade-
quate. Higher bps yield longer sparks at a given power
input level, but if the bps is too high then the power
transformer cannot fully charge the primary cap in between
the breaks.
