Re: Capacitor Size

Hi Mike,

Cres(nf) = 10^9/(2*pi*line_freq*XLtranny)

XLtranny =  Vs_oc/Is_ss  = 14400/120ma = 120Kohms

Cres @ 120ma = 22nf
Cres @ 240ma = 44nf

Use Cp = 1.6*Cres (LTR value for static gaps)
      Cp = 2.8*Cres (LTR value for SRSG's)

I'm about to fire up my 6" coil. Initially I'm going to run it at 1800 watts. A 14.4 KV PT at 120 Ma out, with a 30 Nf maxwell. After tweeking, I plan on running it at double this, 3600 W, ie 240 MA. I'm going to run a sucker gap for now. Just how large a tank cap should I run, and how is this determined? Does a LTR cap only apply to NST's? Can I rely on teslamap for larger power levels?
