Subject: Re: [TSSP] Secondary voltage stress factor
An observation...
Hi Adam,
A local coiler here had the same problem. We raised the secondary about an
inch and very carefully tuned to coil and the sparks went away just fine.
If the coil is out of tune, I think you get some pure transformer action (turns
ratio voltages) and you can get very big primary to secondary arcs (we got a
foot+ !) When the coil is in tune, the voltage on the secondary smooths out
and everything is fine. The tuning was very sharp! We had to get it within
1/4 turn on like a 12 turn primary. In our case, even with perfect tune will
still had a little problem near full power (15/120 NST) so we raised the
secondary a little which fixed it right up.
Cheers,
Terry
