Re: secoundary wire size



Original poster: Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>

What is a good guage wire for a 4" / 20" coil powered by a 12kv 30mA xformer?


I wrapped it with about 1460 turns of #28g wire, but it is quite thin and I couldn't get a 100% perfect shinny copper tube look...there are some extremely small spaces between some of the wires.

My question is: What would be the best size wire to use if I were to re-order another spool and wrap another pipe? "

I haven't noticed anyone saying that gaps won't hurt anything but crossovers are doomsville!
