I'm near 20 Ft. of grounding cable from/to the pig. My RF ground is "at" the coil itself.Actually, the disconnection could be made pretty easy in the control cabinet with stripped back shield. This would be way better than becoming lion's food. I still have the issue of RF ground verses Mains ground. Do you run a significant distance to your pig with your RF ground feeder and how hearty is it or is the pig nearer the coil and at distance to mains ground?
No great ideas. My control and pig are separated. The pig is closer to the coil than my control cabinet. If you insert your PT in the control cabinet, then ground the PT case to mains ground. You may as well run to hv lines out to the coil as well at that point and run the primary in floated configuration. Don't try to isolate the PT and cabinet when one is inside the other. Just go balls to the wall with the PT and suck up the damages should they occur. Filters are nice when they can stop problems, but if they cause more problems than their worth, lose them.This disallows the PT being in the control cabinet unless I can run a long RF connection to the PT. Furthermore, the PT core will be at mains ground if the PT is kept in the desired cabinet and the RF ground would need to be highly insulted where it enters the cabinet. Therein lies my problem to stay self contained. Any ideas?
