Thanks for the answer.
Have you tried to experiment with coupling adjustment between primary and secondary to get the longest discharge possible?
What  coupling do you use?
I guess you never had racing sparks problem on that coil (relatively small bang size if compared with coil size).

Hi Dex,

The 120L50K is an old coil, relatively speaking, from 1990.  It's used 
primarily as an experimental platform for trying out new ideas, so it's 
rather a patchwork of construction at this point.  It has a number of 
original components and circuits that are no longer used, but remain 
installed in case they're ever needed again.

Nowadays it draws about 26kW from the mains at full gap speed.  The gap 
speed is adjustable from about 80 to 350 BPS.  The DC supply runs off 
480V 3-phase mains.  Fo is about 58.5kHz in the new location.

The arcs appear to be bounded by the floor and the roofing trusses in 
the new location, but max point-to-point arc lengths of about 24-27ft 
can be coaxed outdoors to grounded electrodes on elevated stands.
