Well.. I just got the answer to my bypass question tonight.
I was doing 90% power tests of my new cap tonight, and decided
to see what would happen if I did not have bypass caps.
Results:
1)Safety Gap firing almost constantly.
2) A couple of really scary arcs from my choke to my resistor.
The Cap is .0061 mf, with a 12KV 30ma transformer.
I decided to put the caps back in, and the whole setup settled
right down.
I also need to open the safety gap across the cap, but am not exactly sure
how I should set that.
