RE: SRSG or ARSG

What about an ASRG operating near 120 bps?
Say 110 or 130 or 140 bps.
Would this offer close to the same power draw on the NST thus making it
safe for it.

I ask is just to have a grasp as to what happens and why but another
reason as well.

The SRSG seems a bit more complicated to make.  I could go about
designing a spark gap with a 120 bps but making it synchronous is what
seems to be the hard part.  Maybe my perceptions are off.  I was under
the impression that while a spark gap running at 120bps would be
considered synchronous the other part of the trick which I was trying to
avoid would be setting it so that the firing timing matches that of the
wave form being offerd by the NST.  This timing is what I wanted to
avoid.  Simply setting a rate of 120 bps may have the timing so that the
gap is in line to fire at say only half way up the cycle.  Are these
assumptions correct?

I was thinking if one were to have one operate in the asynchronous mode
at a frequency close to 120 the firing timing would be cyclic in
reference to the waveform presented by the
NST.  This would allow at some of the firings to be at the peaks and
would cycle to that timing every so often.  Like at a bps of 150 bps the
firing would cycle full circle every 4 seconds.

Obviously I am missing something here.
Could you fill in the gaps?

If it is possible I would like answers to each section of this post.
They kind of go hand in hand if I want to put it all together to
understand what would happen.

The 120 pps allows the cap to charge to it's full peak potential at each
cyclic peak (60 plus, 60 neg).

This is safe on a NST powered system.  It's called a synchro RSG.  A
non-synchro system operating at 400-500 pps works great with a pole xmfr
system.  Running a non-synchro RSG at a high pulse rate on a NST will
destroy it rapidly.  NST are not designed to provide continuous high
potentials and will not withstand any overpotentials that can occur in
non-synchro systems.
