Re: [TCML] GU5B VTTC

Hi Teslina,

Excellent job and results !

Most variacs here in the US anyway can handle a lot more
than their rated power for short runs.  I've run 150 amps
through a 22 amp variac, but only for a second or less while
I was tuning up a system    :)   I turned it up, then right
back down as quickly as I could !

Cheers,
John

Hi list

I had the first light for my new VTTC with a GU5B tube (had a little 
vacation to
spare for this old project finally).
The construction is documented with pics on the 4HV forum here:

First light: 60 cm sparks to a grounded rod.

Still using 2200 V weak MOTs in my doubler. I will try to find higher 
voltage
output ones (2500 V), this will give at least 4-5 inches more in the 
spark
lenght.

This old russian stuff is simple great.
