Re: [TCML] Tesla Coil Computer Interference (proper grounding)

Hi Gary,

Am I also to assume by your comments that I do not ground the EMI filters for 
the NSTs; that there is no reason to even run a ground from the control box to 
anything external?

Thanks,
Miles M

Concerning the connection of mains and RF grounds -

If you have an NST connected to a Terry filter, the NST case is connected to
the RF ground if you've hooked it up properly.  If you also connect the NST
case to the green-wire ground, then you have connected your RF ground to
your green-wire ground.  This is wrong and defeats the purpose of having a
dedicated RF ground - to channel RF away from your mains wiring.  They must
remain separate.
