I assume that your electrodes are equally spaced, 90 degrees apart.
I'm not sure that it's possible to get all bangs the same size at 200BPS
by
adusting just the motor phase, without some very deliberate electrode
geometry considerations. The trouble is, the rate at which the cap
charges
is non-linear with respect to time. So instead of the fixed electrodes
being at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, they may need to be at 12, 2, 6, and 8
o'clock (picking numbers out of the air). I think it was Finn Hammer who
posted that he did some PSpice simulations to determine the necessary
electrode placement for 200BPS. I would guess that whatever geometry
worked
for Finn would work for you, if he was willing to share.
Just curious - why 200 rather than 100 BPS?

Hi,
I actually try to find out the optimal phase angle position of the motor
in
my 200bps SRSG. I use a dummy load with halogen bulbs. I am not sure WHAT
exactly the optimal point is! Is it, when the 4 firing-sparks at the 4
electrodes seem to be of the equal "size" / brightness when variac is at
full voltage or when the bulbs are of highest brightness (but this is not
easy to see!) OR is it the point where all 4 electrodes begin firing at
the
same time when rising the voltage on the variac? But in this case, 2 of
the
4 electrodes seem to fire much brighter then the other 2, when variac at
full voltage. So I am a little bit confused, which point I should take.
