Bart A. and I are now doing some research on TC eficiency so hope to have
some more definite information in the near future.

Steve,

The answer to your question is that a 12/30 NST (or any NST) can
deliver more than its rated power in a TC application, especially if
powered by a 140 volt variac, as I do.  My 12/30 NST actually
draws about 800 watts, and probably delivers 700 watts or so to
the coil.  I don't think the JavaTC calculator allows for this effect.

Also, I think large coils may be more efficient than small coils
(I know John C doesn't agree).

Cheers,
John
