[TCML] primary voltage

[Paul Brodie]

Brandon wrote to me off list and I believe he is confusing the rating of his 
tank cap voltage with the actual voltage. He is using a 15kV 30mA neon 
transformer with an MMC of 36kV. It appears he was thinking that the 36kV 
rating of the tank cap was the actual voltage on it. I referred him to 
Richie Burnett's web site and asked him to read about resonant charging, 
which should enlighten him about this and many other things as well. Reading 
everything located there would also be a good idea.

Hi Brandon,

Unless you are using some sort of multiplier circuit or are counting heavily 
on transformer-killing resonant rise, I don't see how you can get 36 kV 
flowing in your primary circuit from a 15 kV transformer. Please explain 
this circuit.

Hi Steve,

Once again, sorry. I believe I misinterpreted the post. I told you my whole 
primary 'curcuit' voltage. Not my transformers output.

Thanks though,
Brandon
