RE: Resulting static after TC runs

Steve,
	I have noticed a similar static charge on a couple of static gap
coils, and my smaller OLTC.

	I put it down to the last voltage swing, either -ve or -ve from the
secondary would leave a charge on any non conducting surface..

	With the amount of control you have over your burst length you are
probably leaving a net +ve or -ve charge after each burst especially if you
are cutting off the burst at a half cycle. Maybe this net difference is what
is making the build up of charge..

	Cheers
