Re: PSSTC Measured Power Specifications - Re: 66" SSTC

My favorite transformer company donated HV polyester insulation that i used
im my SSTC. Single layer can hold 7 kV and 14 kV peak. I used 30 turns = 420
kV peak. And it is really thin so i have kick ass coupling also and
affcourse bigger sparks. Try also to get this insulation.

Best Regards

PS. If you will not be able to find it im sure that the companys director
will find some more for me :-).
