I'm thinking that either your coil is mighty small or it doesn't have much
of a topload. Without an appropriate topload, your primary inductance
will be too small and the primary current will be too large. Maybe some
dimensions are in order.

My TC should resonate at about 833Hz, I know that for a fact. I'm getting
15 15uf 2kv MMCs. I'm thinking I need my total capacitance to equal about
9.3nf, but I'm not entirely sure. Can somebody please validate that for me?
Also how should I arrange the caps? Right now I'm think of makinging an
adjustable rig for my caps so I can play with the capacitance while the
TC is running to tune it, but I'd rather not do that. Thanks.
