Subject: SCR & PRIMARY CONNECTIONS

Hi all,

I am replacing my IGBT based coil with a SCR, however the SCR is too big to 
place under the primary board. I am thinking of placing it ontop of the 
board and then it will be next to the primary...

I am wondering if the RF off the primary will effect its operation ? The 
catch is, the SCR is on 2 large heatsinks which are the 2 connections 
anyway, so one side of the heatsink will be live with RF anyway (the other 
side ground). So I am wondering if placing the SCR next to the primary will 
actually be an issue ?

My primary is 2" copper strap so placing the SCR ontop will make life easier 
for connections! So just checking if anyone has done anything along these 
lines and more to the point had any problems...

Cheers,
Chris
