Re: [TCML] Re-visited - Newbie question - Where does all the energy go?

No visual signs of any damage on the secondary.


Thanks

Subject:[TCML] Re-visited - Newbie question - Where does all the
energy go?

  I refer to my problem as described in
http://www.pupman.com/listarchives/2012/Apr/msg00135.html.

  I followed the recommendations by various posters,

  - I re-built the spark gap, same result.
  - I made various new capacitors, same result.
  - I added a second 12 KV 30 ma NST in parallel, same result.
  - I re-wired all connections with 10 gauge, same result.

  The only part left untouched now is the secondary coil. Is it
possible that there is a short circuited winding? Would that be
  consistent with the problems I experience?

  How would I find the location of the short? I inspected it visually
but can't find anything odd. What would I look for? would it get
  warm at the fault after prolonged running?

  Thanks for any assistance.

  Peter
