Re: [TCML] reply to: nst plus asynch rotary gap, good? bad?
Mike, Andrew -
McMaster-Carr (mcmaster.com) offers 3/8" and 1/2" thick G10 and G11 material
(as well as LE phenolic) in 12" X 12" squares at very reasonable prices.

Herr Zapp

This is a reply to Jim Mora and Gary Lau, thanks for the reply's. I am
going to run it at about 170 BPS, not 120 so it is a bit easier on the
NST, I will have it on a dimmer so I can slow it down just a tad if
needed. so correct me if I'm wrong, but 1700 rpms, with 8 rotary and 2
stationary electrodes would give me 170 BPS. If I do end up killing my
NST, there are plenty of MOT's waiting for me at the dump... hopefully I
will not have to go through that whole process. I am going to use some
plastic from a cutting board, but I am not sure what size disc to use, my
motor is rather large, so it wont loose a lot of RPM's no matter what
size, but what do you recommend?

Hi Mike
You dont want to use polypro or any equivelent of that material. As
everyone else stated, it melts! Heres an example of a SRSG with a poor
choice of material. BEFORE... http://host.teslamad.com/before.jpg and
AFTER... http://host.teslamad.com/after.jpg See the washers under the
electrodes on the disc in the first pic? Now you see the washers... Now
you dont. I promise you they're still there, they're just embedded in the
plastic now completely hidden. You want to look for a material called G10
or G11. Do a google search for it or check out this company
http://www.electricalinsulationmaterial.com/ Its not very cheap, but
you'll thank me in the long run!
Goodluck!
