>>i`ve calculated the toroid voltage (70 cm diameter) - 1.2 MV -
>>what height should be the secondary to prevent flashovers?
Tl> I believe it should be about 1.2 metres since the breakdown strength
Tl> of air is 3MV/m and the tracking strength across a surface is roughly
Tl> one-third of that- 1MV/m.
where did you find that? It`s 3MV/m for DC, but we have HF AC, so this
value can be several times smaller, 1MV/m - i like it much more :-)
