[TCML] discharging caps through NST
Hello all, my first posting ....
I am building a standard tesla coil (NST, 15kv at 30 m/a etc)
When working, if I switch off when the caps are charged but the spark
gap hasn't yet fired,
(say they are charged to 10kv), than the caps can now discharge back
through my NST secondary
via the tesla coil primary coil as all are in series.
My NST secondary resistance measures 20k ohms. So 10kv is put
across this equating to 1/2 AMP !!. Can the NST fine secondary windings
take this continually?
Also as the caps discharge quickly via the NST anyway,do I need bleed
resistors across the caps?
(4 doorknobs in parallel)
Thanks.
