Power Arcing Question:
Has anyone noticed power arcing with RSG's when a conductive ring is 
not used? Just curious if this is a side affect contained only to 
conductive rings on the discs. I haven't experienced it and I don't 
use conductive rings.
Thanks,
Bart

power arcing is when you really punch up the power and the arc that 
is created at the disc electrodes and the stationary electrodes 
continue to transfer electricity even after the spinning ( disc) 
electrodes have gone past the point of "self exstinguishing" the 
present arc ...
my SRSG employs a copper ring between the 4 disc electrodes and 
there are pit marks well beyond an inch past the electrode where 
the hi power arcs have traveled on the copper band.....  but then 
again Im pushing close to 38KV thru my system at full throttle...
