Hi Gerry

Would you also be assuming that the mains earth not be connected to the
NST case?

Cheers, Chris (NZ)

The center electrode of the safety gap should go to the chassis of the
NST
(also center tap of the NST's output).   You are trying to protect the
NST
HV outputs with respect to the center tap of the NST.  NST's chassis
should also be grounded to your RF ground  well as your secondary base.
