Phil,
 
There is a separate charging supply for the DC which charges a capacitor  
using
an NST with rectifiers.  I believe the base of the secondary connects  to 
ground
through an isolation capacitor to isolate the DC from ground if I remember  
correctly.
 
Lou preferred to use 40kVDC on the DC cap, although at the teslathon he  used
only 20kVDC.
