Hi Tim,

One other note. For a single bushing output where the case is tied to RF ground, make sure you don't put the green wire safety ground at the case as well. Otherwise, you'll end up bussing RF to everything else unnecessarily. Let the green wire safety ground stop at the control panel/ballast.

Take care,
Bart

Hi Tim:

Yes, as you suggested, use the HV terminal on one side of the tank, and
case/RF ground on the other side that connects to the primary center.
