Re: [TCML] Rotory STATIC Gap

[bunnykiller <bunnikillr@xxxxxxx>]

Hey Gary...

The SRSG is running on the BIGPIG system ( 33KV piggie with 200KV rated 
caps, actually 4-50KV caps in series) JavaTC rates a 2.2" gap in static 
gap mode to be equal to about 48KV arc voltage, quite easily done within 
the realms of my system.  As soon as I figure out how and where to post 
pictures of the gap I will do so, unless someone has knowledge of an 
easy way to do it without me having to sign up to or join some system to 
do so.

That length indicates that the cap is charging to a MUCH too high voltage.  Any rotary gap, sync or not, needs to have a properly spaced static gap in parallel with it, so that it fires before the voltage gets out of hand and things start going poof.
