Hello Group: My last post was a link to my progress blog and a voltage reduction scheme for a # phase DC resonant charger I am working on. By back feeding a Line to Line output with a measured MOT connected, I got in the estimated ratio of 50:1 so 208V (3 phase in is ~ 10,400 volts Line to Line) This gives full wave 6 pulse output of SQR2*SQR* Vline= Vout 6 pulse or 1.41 * 1.732 * 10,400=~ 25.4KV ! This is then Doubled by the resonant inductor out! That voltage is way out of my league in Tesla coiling! 50KV? Yow! So a way has to be found to half the Line to Line out to around 5KV which I believe is on Richie Burnett's example coil. Volia', I found a phase center point connection. The "phase" voltage (one leg to common) is 10,400/SQR3 or 10,400/ 1.732 = 6004V still a bit high but I can control the input voltage. My previous post had a math error. Splitting the phase voltage in 1/2 at the center point would be 3000v to stand off between adjacent coil packs. This should be doable. A horseshoe like shim with a rear "I" should maybe do it (Teflon). I am open for suggestions. Look at the transformer picture on the progress blog which depicts the center point where up to 3000 Volts must be held off coil to coil wire to wire, Internal proximity assumed to be close. http://teslawavetuner.blogspot.com <http://teslawavetuner.blogspot.com/> Thanks for you assistance! Jim Mora <Clicking on the Pic zooms> There is one of a single Coil which well illustrates the issue. Zooming I noticed there are Neoprene shims on either side of the splice so the area of most concern is narrowed. Normally there would be 6004Volts/4 =1500volts between coils. What I intend to do will double that at this tie point. _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
