Re: [TCML] Switching from 12/30 to 12/60 NST

Hi Steve,

Power affects spark length more than anything else. Doubling your power 
results in a spark length increase near 40%. When upgrading power, power 
handling (spark gap) may need to be upgraded as well to achieve the 
expected length.

Regards,
Bart
