Re: [TCML] OT high voltage DC power supply PLEASE HELP

[DC Cox <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, the charge can be blown off the belt due to friction (air) and
intra-belt electrostatic interactions.  We run at 2,200 RPM with a 1/2 HP
motor and 7 kV DC spray.

This is getting a bit off topic so special thanks to the moderators for
letting it pass.
