Hi Steve,

I had the 10V in there to use as an initial condition so I could ring down 
the shorted primary system to determine its stand alone resonant 
frequency.  I had since forgotten it.

You are correct, this initial condition seems to be having some odd affect 
on the model!!  If I set it to 100V then I get 5 millions volts on the 
output!!!

I will try and sort this out but it does appear there may be an error in 
the analysis!!

Cheers,

         Terry
