resonant cap with safety gaps...

Hi All,

If I have a safety gap properly setup with a static gap coil and
increase the power supply current (by adding nst's) so that the tank cap
is approaching resonant size, will I be risking anything?

I have my MMC's setup so that each board is 19.4nf (17 caps of
0.33/1600) and I plan to use 1 board initially with a 15kv/60ma.  I can
have up to 7 boards for 135nf

I also have a 90ma supply (3x30ma) which I would like to try but this
makes the tank cap close to resonant.  Potential problem?



Regards


Justin.
