RE: [TCML] ideas needed for using 3 SMPS NSTs (10 kV, 30 mA)

"They don't look very good for powering a Jacob's ladder - there is a short

The GFI circuitry can be removed without harming the functionality of the
transformer. At least, I have several NSTs from which I removed the GFI
circuits and they work just fine. You may have to repot, however.

Hello,

 

I have 3 "solid state" SMPS NSTs (10 kV, 30 mA) and was looking for a
"useful" application for them - any bright ideas? Anything that makes sparks
or smells of ozone is deemed useful.

It says "cool neon" Neon Power Supply, E217776 made in China Input is 120VAC
50/60Hz 0.9A, Output is 10kV 30mA but no frequency given. Note the output
watts are higher than input watts - I assume the 30mA are not at 10kV

 

They don't look very good for powering a Jacob's ladder - there is a short
circuit protection that switches off pretty rapidly as arcing occurs

 

Many thanks

 

Thomas
