RE: [TCML] My NST

["Rich Schmuke" <rdj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

9Kv at 30ma (9000 volts , .03 amps) are the numbers to remember. Free is the
best price. You are on you way to a lot of fun, it is not to big to be
expensive but big enough to be easy to work with. A lot smaller and every
thing has to be just right to get good sparks , a lot bigger and the cost
goes up for the other parts.

Subject: [TCML] My NST

Thanks for all your advice on how to obtain an NST.  I can proudly say that
I just one for free!  After calling many different sign shops in my area
(Indianapolis).  I talked with a guy who had an old, used NST in the back of
his shop.  He gave it to me for free.

I'm somewhat confused as to what the rating is on this NST.  Can anyone
please decifer these numbers for me?  I couldn't take a picture of the
panel, so I'll just type what I see.

The transformer is labeled "Transco" and says that it was made in Hong Kong
in June of '94.
Hz           60
PPI.V.     120
SEC.V.   9000
V.A.         270
A.            247
M.A.        30

My best guess would be that the NST is rated at 9000KV and 30mA.  Is this
true?  If so or if not, what do the other numbers mean and how do they
affect the tesla coil?

Thanks.
