Re: [TCML] rsg pulsing
Ok sure. Here are some specs. power suply 4 mot's around 8.4kv at 4.8kw.
primary cap 88nf 24kvdc cde 942c16p33k caps. THe nameplate speed on the
motor is 1800 rpm so i may not be running it at exactly 1800 rpm. Here is a
pic of how the rsg is set up.

my whole setup. The orange thing attached to the left side of the variac
box is the dc motor controller.

helps.
