Re: Spark gap spacing?

Hi Nolan,

See:

http://hot-streamer-dot-com/TeslaCoils/Misc/SGapVolt.jpg

A 7.5 kVRMS transformer has a peak voltage of 7.5 x 1.414 = 10.607kV which
is the number you want to use.  Extrapolate the numbers between 10 and 15kV
in the chart to get the distances for 10.607kV.

Cheers,

	Terry
