Hello  everyone,

This thread kind of reminds me of a question that's been  bouncing around in 
my mind; I can see the limitations of using too small  of a power supply on a 
larger coil. However, assuming that one is using a  variac and/or adjustable 
ballast to control the output, is there any  problem with using an overly 
large supply on smaller coils, as long as  output is controlled? 
Hypothetically, could a smaller (2" secondary for  example) coil be 
effectively run with a pig for example, without loss of  performance? Yes, I 
know it's way overkill, but could it be done? Just  wondering,

Neal.




Hi Neal,
 
I think it could be done, but pigs are not current limited, so the  necessary 
ballast would be formidable.
