Re: Magnetic quenching.

Hi,

I think Malcolm pointed out a terrible flaw...  You want to quench the 
primary gap  just as the primary currents are at their "minimum 
level".  Using the primary currents for magnetic quenching terribly falls 
all apart form a "timing" point of view...

Cheers,

         Terry
