Re: OPEN-CIRCUIT NST LIFE

Because of the capacitance of the wire the terminal voltage was
slightly higher than the terminal voltage.

Hi Ed,

The capacitance was that of the electric fence - about 150 feet of #24 wire about 8" above the ground. I had a very crude voltmeter to read the output voltage and it went from about 4 kV to about 4.2 kV when I connected the lead to the fence. I was using only half the transformer with the case grounded to a water pipe.
