Re: [TCML] SSTC, quad MOT

[DC Cox <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would leave the shunts in.  With shunts each MOT will draw a lot of power,
so why bother hacking them out?

I want a nice MOSFET coils that will run at 335 VDC and provide a 4-4.5 foot
spark output.  Lightweight, portable, and big on performance
for my museum applications.

For bigger sparks I will be using my DRSSTC PCBs and running CM600s at 10
kVA and CM800s at 15 kVA.
