2800!  Wow that is low.
Guess that's lower than I expected.
Question answered thanx everyone for the input.

	I have a spark diathermy unit which runs at about 3500 volts and
seems
to put out nicely.  I suspect you can make suitable gaps to work at
reasonable power at a voltage that low.  Several of us have built small
"table top" TC's running at lower voltage (mine runs at about 2800).
