The intention was to demo one possible cause of racing arcs and I often wonder how much HF energy is sent down into the coil from smaller step changes in top volts resulting from normal (to air) breakout. HF components show up well in base current waveforms and would be a good diagnostic -
I'm interested in the physics of RF arcs. Can you provide some details about the step changes due to normal (to air) breakout?
unfortunately recordings are rare as hen's teeth.
Here's a measurement of mine on arc loading on a DRSSTC: http://4hv.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?137883 Udo _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
