Re: [TCML] Primary Capacitance Calculations

[futuret@xxxxxxx]

 When using a pole pig, it's important to consider what break rate (bps) you
want to use, and also what power level you want to run.  For example if
you run at 120 bps synchronous, you'll need a larger capacitor value than
at 500 bps asynch.  Also if you run 15kVA from your 10kVA pig, then you'll
need a larger capacitor than if you throttle the pig down to 7kVA (if you have
limited space, etc).  The ballast setting, capacitor value and bps will
determine the power throughput, and ultimate spark length.  These are
the important factors to consider when using a pole pig.

Subject: [TCML] Primary Capacitance Calculations


Hello All
 
I'm suspicious of all these "black box" calculators and equations that I've 
found for determining the primary capacitances. I'd like to determine a good 
capacitance to use in my primary tank circuit driven by a 7200 V, 10 KVA pole 
pig. 
 
I'm currently a long distance away from my pole pig and I can't measure it's 
actual output impedance. 
 
Any advice? What are the values of your pole pig driven primary LC circuits?
 
Thanks!
