Re: [TCML] NST and HV Cables



Hello Phil and group,
Say Phil, just curious how you came up with the 10KV value. Looking at the nameplate under KV I see 3,75-3,75 and that leads me to believe it is a 7,500 volt 60 MA output not 10/60. From what I have read it will work,not the best and hard on the spark gap but it is doable. I wonder tho ,if a voltage doubler would work in this circumstance. I have at least one 750/120 and wanted a simpler demo version so I put it on the back burner so to speak. A set up like that might be an interesting coil project. ...Happy coling to all...Binny----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Tuck" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Yes and Yes.

A lot of resin NST's can't be used, but I have used that same NST
successfully. The GFI thing on those is external and screws across three of
the terminals on the top, but yours is missing. The lid normally has two
metal links that engage with the springs you can see, the idea being you
pull the lid off and the HV is then off. It's a bit low on output volts as
10Kv would be better (10Kv is the max in Europe I think, while America has
15Kv ones)

Careful when you wire it up as the HV outputs are at the top part in the
picture.


Phil

Hello! We are three young students from Sweden about to do a project that
involves the construction of a tesla coil. Since we are all beginners when
it comes to constructing tesla coils we will post a lot of basic questions
which we don't think will be a problem for you guys to answere.

So, here is our first question. Will this neon sign transformer work as a
power supply for a tesla coil?

Second question. Are these high voltage cables suitable for a tesla coil?
