<<   I employ some extensive line filtering, one on the
 high side of the pole pig and then another located on the output of my
 breaker panel that feeds just the coil.  I also use a special ground rod at
 the base of the panel in the garage that is separate from the ground system
 used for the coil.  I figure I'd rather spend the extra $9.00 on a couple of
 ground rods than buy a new PC!  Good Luck with the tuning activities  on
 your coil--keep up the good work.

First, I must also say good job Bart.  I can only run my coil out in the
driveway also.  Have to wait for that first warm non windy evening.  Keep us
posted.

Chuck,

I also use some large line filters on my coil and employ a separate ground rod
system for the 60 hz ground.  I have never blown anything electrical in my
house due to operation of the Tesla coil at up to 8 kva.  - So far -
