As far as reliability, the SISG has proven to me that it is extremely 
reliable (far exceeding my expectations). I didn't do a lot of 
calculations with the current, but concentrated simply on building the 
DC bridge, the coil, etc.. First firing was a winner! Here is my very 
simple circuit and how I ended up plugging the SISG into my circuit. 
This may seem very familiar.

    That looks like a dangerous setup to me because the primary is 
always floating at HV with respect to ground.
