Marco, This is interesting. Could you let me know your primary tapping point and primary cap size? My simulations, so far using guesses for these numbers, lead to generally around 450kV for 20kV feed. Amazing how suddenly the streamers appear. Does further increase in feed above 18.35kV increase the streamer length, or does it increase their number or brightness? Cheers, -- Paul Nicholson, Manchester, UK. --
