Hi Christopher,

With nothing else connected to the NST output but the filter, the NST 
voltage will be the normal output voltage.  Set the gaps so they just do 
not fire with just the filter connected to the NST.  Then the gap voltage 
will be just a little higher than the NST normal rated voltage.

Cheers,

         Terry
