I'm setting up my SRSG  for my 15KV 120Ma NST what is the proper spacing
of the electrodes for this  setup?
Thanks

Hi Gates,
 
    There isn't an exact number, it's a balancing act.  Too far away and you 
run the risk of not firing,  As they are set  closer together, they will 
conduct for a larger fraction of time at each  presentation. If they are set too 
close, then as they heat up and expand, the  tips may meet and self-destruct. 
;-((
    I would try 3-5mm total spacing to start, but  others with more rotary 
experience may be able to give you a better  rule-of-thumb.
