Re: [TCML] How necessary is a Terry Filter

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ed,

The filter helps dampen those spikes back to the tranny. The safety gap 
will act like a static gap with a big bang as it's gap width is 
typically larger than the main gap. Never the less, there is RC 
filtering occurring and no LCR filtering occurring (which is good I 
think in this situation). The safety gap is still very important is an 
integral part of the Terry filter. But there is also high frequency 
filtering occurring in addition.

Take care,
Bart
