Re: transmission lines from transformer /was: First Light HELP

Steve, all,

Agreed! While I certainly cannot claim qualification to make an
informed comment on this issue, I can still procalim observations
from my personal experience and I too have never witnessed that
kind of voltage develop across the HV output bashings of a pole
transformer, no matter how I wired or didn't wire the transmission
lines coming from it. As a matter of fact, the only way that I could
see that kind of voltage being developed is to leave the SG com-
pletely out of the primary circuit and let it run completely open circuit
with a Resonant or STR sized capacitor across the output.

Using RG-8 cable with a 10 kVA pig it was "safety gapping" over the entire HV bushing surface---- definitely way above 14.4 kV.

I don't see how any ringing or transmission line effect can ever produce more than twice the transformer's peak output voltage. Must be something weird going on!
