Re: [TCML] NST Measurements

[FIFTYGUY@xxxxxxx]

Folks-
 
    Any chance that the problem with loading the  secondary of an NST with 
only 120V is the huge DC resistance of the secondary  windings? In the 
transformer "model", that's a big series resistance that causes  a big voltage drop. At 
15,000 V no big deal, but at 120V pretty significant  resistive losses.
    It's apparently common practice to add more turns  to a high-resistance 
winding to account for the voltage drop. Often a cut-and  try approach to 
transformer design. As D.C. Cox had pointed out to me years ago,  the turns ratio 
is pretty far off from "ideal" in an NST.
