The company was going to scrap an old ozone generater, which I
intercepted it on the way to the scrap hopper, with permission. The
HV transformer inside the generator is a GE 120v primary, 15/16/17 Kv
sec. at 200VA. The transformer has only one HV bushing. By hooking up
one leg of a jacobs ladder to the HV side and the other leg to ground
I got a very healthy arc, approximately 5".

I have a question as to how to wire this transformer into a tank
circuit as there is only one HV output as compared to the normal
set-up for a NST. Should I connect the HV to one side of the tank
circuit and ground the other leg or what is the proper way to use this unit?

Thanks for any input.

For your safety please don't ground the ground because if you are toucking
anything that is also grounded and hapen to get near the HV electrode you will
be zaped and possibly killed.
