[TCML] First (or maybe 2nd) light on my medium-sized SG coil, PT current rating?

Hi David,

Hello David,

What is the current output of the PT? I have a 5KVA GE that I am planning on
running on my 8" coil also wound with #22 to 35.5" so your results are
interesting to me! I plan to use a smaller sat reactor and a combo static
and dc motor rotary gap. This PT runs on 240v. I wish I had two of em!

Hi all,

I have finally gotten my mid-sized SG coil project up and running
A quick rough-up of the specs are about 28" of #22 AWG magnet
wire wound on a 6" ID (6.5" OD) white PVC pipe for the secondary 
coil. The primary is 11 turns of 3/8" copper tubing wound in the 
classic Archemdian spiral with between 3/8" and 1/2" spacing be-
tween each turn and the outermost turn has about a 12.5" radius
(25"diameter). After initial tuning, the primary has been tapped at
approx. 8 3/4 turns. The transformer is a 120:1 GE potential trans-
former (14,400 volt output).<snip>
