What are you using for a ballast?  You need some way to limit 120v current.

Before taking the plunge I'd like to pass my plan past the experts to
see if anything is outright crazy. Here's my recipe:

this transformer:

70 capacitors, 2kv 150nf, 5 strings of 14 = 53.57nf

an asynchronous rotating spark gap with 1/4" tungsten points
driven by a variable frequency drive

the rest of the data can be found here:

Will I need some protection chokes for the potential transformer? Or is
it so tough that it won't notice a thing?

Any kind (or unkind) help will be greatly appreciated!
