Hi everyone,
I built two small coil from plans.
Now I am desiging a coil using WinTesla
(The quarter wavelength with my top load cap is as close as I can get to the
secondary wire length , and LpCp is as close as possible to LsCs.)I am using
a 10kv .023 ma OBIT

anyway what is the Power Factor Rating and why would I need a power
correction capacitor?(I didn't need one on my other coils)

can anyone explain
Joseph
