RE: [TCML] Alternate RF Ground

["Phil Tuck" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Grant,
 I forgot to add on my earlier post that I have seen a detector that was
wrapped in metal foil survive direct hits.  The detector in question can be
seen to the left about 18 inches away from the nearest streamers hitting the
ceiling  http://www.hvtesla.com/temp/alarm.jpg
It  took numerous direct hits during the sessions as well, but obviously it
is NOT an ideal situation.

Direct hits aside, I think there is slightly more chance of sending
something nasty back up the mains supply lead and causing damage.

Subject: [TCML] Alternate RF Ground

Hi all,

I have a 2KW SSG coil which I need to run in a conference centre environment
where I will have no access to a solid dedicated RF ground point.

I could of course connect it to the nearest fire extinguisher outlet or even
the 3phase ground but I would be VERY concerned about inducing spikes and RF
noise into sensitive equipment elsewhere in the building.

Thus I am looking for alternate solutions and am hoping someone on the list
may be able to help.

I read somwhere that it is possible to use a spare secondary coil as a dummy
load on the RF earth???

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

PS. I also need to keep all RF and EM emissions to an absolute minimum as
there will be a lot of sensitive equipment being used in the same area like
video projectors, amps, UHF wireless microphones, computers, DMX controlled
lighting, etc.

Keep em sparks flying
Grant
