Gary, I am far from technical when it comes to this stuff as I am sure you can see by a lot of my questions! It was just a fluke that I tried this out of boredom. All I know is that it works. Take the resisters out, and GF pops. The resisters are similar in appearance to these > https://www.ebay.com/itm/2Pcs-Wirewound-Ceramic-Cement-Resistor-0-5-1K-Ohm-5-25W-Watt/352350026175?hash=item5209b2b9bf:m:mowqAUe59odwZoiyCa7jxDg:rk:38:pf:0 Maybe it works because, in my ignorance, I didn't know it wouldn't😉 Doug On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 9:20 PM Gary Lau <glau1024@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:I can't comment on your GF working in a TC. I've not personally tried it, but the prevailing wisdom is that it typically doesn't work in a TC application. I wonder if higher voltage GF NST's are more affected than lower voltage ones? The resistors - 1KOhm, 25Watt, 210-what? What are these for? It sounds like they're intended to be part of a protection network, except that resistors must be used with capacitors to form a low-pass filter network. By themselves or with safety gaps, resistors serve no protective purpose.

I ran a 1K 25w210 wire wound resistor between each leg of theNSTand the safety gap, it worked just fine. I switched the GF 6kv NST with a non GF 6kv nst and the coil output was identical. I was always told that a GF NST would not work for a TC?? Resistors are holding up ok.
