[TCML] Re: Spark gap Resistance
Hi Bart,
I didn't take stock of the # of envelopes, pre and post-op.
From looking at secondary currents I seem to remember 2 to 3 beats.
Soon I'll probably be performing some design optimization exercises
using the 120L as a guinea pig [Csec mapping, COMSOL verification] so
can tell you # of envelopes then. GL

Hi Greg,
When you increased the primary impedance on the system, were there
energy transfer measurements made before and after? For quite a while
now, I've considered the secondary's ability to do something with the
energy provided is what determines what the impedance of the primary
needs to be for best efficiency of the system.
It appears to me that by increasing the primary impedance, you've given
the secondary the time to do something with that energy. This in turn
results in less recursive energy flows and greater efficiency in the
primary and secondary circuits.
Take care,
Bart
