Hi,

Got the filter parts in today and built it up...

http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/MyCoils/DRSSTC/PC020019.JPG

It can take a full IGBT nuclear "cross conduction and cool explosions 
event" (CCCEE) on the output while keeping the AC line side safe and 
happy.  Prolly holding $300 in R&D there ;-))

6 x 9 PC card that packs "70 TIMES" the energy of most TC primary 
caps!!!  It could kill an elephant dead (unlike Edison, I won't verify that)...

I think I will stick it, the breaker, line filter, and discharge circuit, 
and a 300V meter in a nice rack case...  Another $300!!!

This ain't cheap stuff!!...  But blowing $3000 of computers ain't cheap 
either...  I now have 4 computers on my desk...  Do this stuff al the time 
at work...  But "I don't care there"...  When repairs are on "my nickle", I 
do care ;-))

It could also power my "waiting" OLTC that has never been "really" put to 
the test...  Big hefty AC to DC filters that pack lots of capacitance seem 
to be in great need nowdays ;-))

I think big brass output bolts and wing nuts on the back of the rack 
case...  Like 3/8 to 1/2 inch...


I am looking for a 0-300VDC Simpson meter in excellent to new 
condition...  Newark has them in stock for $95...  If anyone has them 
cheaper (in stock) I am interested ;-)

Cheers,

	Terry
