I usually take the easy way out and start the analysis when the SG
switch closes. The switch is just a short then, although you can add
parasitic R, L, or C. The only thing you miss is the charging current
to the primary cap.

PS--Anybody ever use a "heater" cap in parallel with the primary switch
gap to heat the plasma for better conductivity?

I am just starting to learn PSPICE. In OrCad Capture CIS Lite (free version) v 16.6 can a spark cap Tesla coil be modeled? I have done a single AC source RLC circuit and played around with Q factors (adding or reducing resistance), running it over a range of frequencies to get a voltage graph of the results. I am curious how to model the 120v step up NST part, the air core transformer part factored around resonance (not on mutual flux or turns ratio) and the air gap or "switch when the capacitors are fully charged" part. Have any of you done such things with PSPICE before, or have project files that you are willing to share?
