Re: [TCML] High voltage input snap when adjusting unloaded Terry saftey

Dear ???
 
    Doubling the number of strings will double the  power handling ability of 
your MMC. It will also cut your resonant frequency in  half. You will 
therefore have to use 1/2 the primary inductance to keep the  primary and secondary 
in tune. Smaller inductance means higher inrush current  and more heat 
dissipation. The alternative is to increase the size of your  secondary and/or topload 
to drop its resonant frequency to match the primary. If  you're not winding a 
new, larger secondary, then the increase in needed topload  size could 
quickly become structurally unwieldy and/or unaesthetic. Many folks  do some of 
each, somewhat larger toroid, somewhat tapped inward primary, it's  all a 
compromise.

I  currently have a coil powered by a 12/60 nst. my cap bank is  parallel  
strings of 16 942c's(.150uf).
I was thinking about getting another 12/60.  would I be ok just doubling my 
cap bank, or is that to  much?
