why should we go close to the "maximum secondary voltage"? why should
we risk? why we can`t stop at, for example, 150 kv, that imo will
never fry my 20" tall secondary? the question was/still:

"minimum (at practical viewpoint) Vsec - does it exist? but maybe it`s
just as with bps - do we need some middle value?"
