Hi Dex,One other thing regarding the ARSG. It's not good for NST's. Breakdown will occur throughout the 60Hz charging waveform and it will breakout whenever the cap reaches the breakdown voltage. Zero crossing occurs in the ARSG and the voltage is allowed to climb to the next break, at which point the cap (especially if STR) is allowed to charge to a higher potential than the transformer output voltage. That extreme voltage can be lethal to the secondary windings inside an NST which simply doesn't handle excessive high voltages well. So again, a potential transformer would be a better choice here if you build an ARSG.
Take care, Bart Dex Dexter wrote:
Thanks for the photo. I think power source for the coil I want to build is a potential transformer. And I'm thinking of use ASRG with 300-400 PPS.Cp about 10 nF. Still thinking of how to realize good 40 kV capacitor bank for the purpose. Dex
