Re: [TCML] Newbie Grounding Question
Ken,
I have the secondary and safety gap running to RF ground. The center tap of
the NST I connect to mains ground. I have a Fritz Filter on the output of
the NST, and a standard RF filter on the input of the NST. My spark gap is
not grounded, the way it is constructed it doesn't need to be. The control
case is grounded to mains ground.
I have accidently left my PC running only 15 feet or so away (through a
floor though) and never so much as a reboot. Not saying at all this is
reccomended, it's very dumb, but a data point never the less.
And if that ain't right, I bet I'll be corrected. :)

Subject: [TCML] Newbie Grounding Question
Hi Everyone,
I've been an EE for 25 years and always wanted to build a TC. I made a
half-
arsed attempt in my younger days but it never got off the ground. I've
been
digging through the archives and am a little bit confused about what
connects and what does not connect to an RF ground. Some say that the only
connection to an RF ground is the bottom of the secondary. Others state
that
the center tap and core of the nst, the spark gap housing, mid point of
filters, all on the high side of the nst should connect to RF ground.
Others
say this is lethal. Maybe I'm misunderstanding all this info. Can someone
set me straight? Thanks.
Ken
