Yes. I assume the primary is basically grounded and I use Paul's work to estimate the voltage along the secondary. I set the voltages in the grid to match. E-Tesla has the equations in the code. You should be able to use them. >Greg told about >stacked rings with different potential.

I take the single instant of time where the top voltage is maximum but without breakout effects (don't know how to model those). >Best Regards
