Phil,
That sounds like a real pain to tap, so I presume you're tuning by another method?
Yes, anything *but* altering the primary tap! variable caps... and yes I spent the best part of a year crunching all the variables :-|
4 turns with 1mm spacing between each isn't going to hold up very well past a few kilovolts!
Its a solid state design, 800V is about as much as it will be driven.
the dia is about 22" so its a fair length and it could add up to a fewhundred pF which is a real >problem.. so I need to know the values...The proximity of your primary to a ground plane (or the secondary?) might beof equal importance for determining its self-capacitance.
good point! Chris _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
