Hi Bart,

I had forgotten a capacitor is current driven device for charging (doh)

Cheers

Hi Colin,

No, it should by all accounts be low. It is quite LTR. It's simply the 
current available to charge the capacitance to the arc voltage as 
determined by the gap setting and geometry.

Take care,
Bart
