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

Blumlin effect --- can produce up to 6 X xmfr voltage -- or more. See Power Electronics by Sargent & Dollinger for details. Coaxial HV generators.

Standing waves --- constructive interference.

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!
