Hi Scott,I've never liked battery cables as they are not very flexible (you almost have to mold them into position). With all cables, the higher the strands per awg size, the more flexible the cable is (unless the outer sheath is of a hard jacket). The battery cable will do fine, but you may want to find something more flexible. I use 6 awg because I had it on hand to use. However, something smaller is fine. As Greg mentioned, keep lengths from base to RF ground short. If it goes 1 meter or more, I personally would recommend something in the range of 12 awg. My 6 awg is overboard for what is actually needed. There's nothing wrong with going oversize if that is what you have on hand.
Take care, Bart Scott wrote:
Thanks for the answer Bart. The confusion from the Terry Filter came from the fact that with my wiring plan, the NST Ground and RF Power Ground where both headed for the same place, but afterward I realized how it worked like that. Good tips on the RF grounding too. I have some 8 or 6 AWG battery cables that I may use in place of the ribbon, I'll see how it works out. _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
