Capacitor size with ARSG
Original poster: "Mccauley, Daniel H by way of Terry Fritz <teslalist-at-qwest-dot-net>" <daniel.h.mccauley-at-lmco-dot-com>
I'm building my first ARSG and will be using it with the following tesla
coil:
GE Potential Transformer Coil which will be ballasted for 14.4kV, 200mA
output (short run times)
I have two questions:
1. I know capacitor size for large break rates (240 BPS) are usually
smaller than your typical resonant size
capacitor. Is there a way to calculate for this or a ballpark equation
or something??
2. Also, if I experiment with a range of capacitor values (say .01 to .04
uF) with this coil, do I run any risk
of blowing something up. I know that if you run too small a capacitor with
a NST you could really damage your NST
due to the large output rise in NST output voltage (if no safety gaps are
used)
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Dan
