RE: SRSG or ARSG

Why does running an ARSG too slow build up too much voltage on the
capacitor?  A static gap is the ultimate in slow and people use them all
the time.

ASRG can be used, but must not be run to slow or the
voltage may go to high for the NST if a suitable safety gap
and protective filter is not used.  However the spark lengths
will probably be poor.  A small value cap must be used, which
will not permit the NST to deliver much power.  Many folks
run the ASRG slow at times without adequate protection
and destory the NST.  Only 120 bps sync will give the
ultimate in spark length performance with NSTs it seems.
