Ok.If you say so.

I think you didn't take my point.
-In single shot tests,given very slow charging rate,maximum firing voltage 
is always fixed to the same value.I don't have problems understanding this 
part.Under these circumstances V1 can be set to 13kV with or without high 
speed rotary all right

-But when you operate your coil to hurl 7' long sparks,with ARSG giving 345 
PPS ,maximum V1 ever in the process is brought to...?
I suppose you are not using DC charger supply for high power run or some 
trick like puting static gap in paralel to the rotary!I hope I made my 
point clear now.
What is C1 (primary tank capacitance ) of that coil anyway?

Kind regards,
Rik
