Re: NST Pulse Voltage

Are you talking apout putting 1kv in the input of an NST? That would be like
40kv output and as you know, you had better have a fire extinguisher on hand
and a new nst too.
Why would you waant to do that anyway?
I can't imagine that the insulation can handle much more than 300 or 500
volts. If you want to do  that kind of thing, I suggest winding your own
transformer with te right kind of wire orf  just finding one tat can handle
it.
Happy experimenting, and god luck. :)
