Re: [TCML] Baffle tally (was Secondary Troubles)

[futuret@xxxxxxx]

Hi Gary,



I built 6 secondaries without baffles and without end caps,?I think one of them
had an internal flashover one time when I greatly overpowered the coil.? It
didn't cause any damage because the form was made of Lucite.? When
I say there were no end caps, I mean there was just a crossbar at the
top at bottom, which did not fully block the form.? I can look right down
through the form from the top and see out through?the bottom.


I built 2 secondaries with end caps (not glued), these did not have

any flashovers.? There were no extra baffles other than the end caps.

I'm not sure if you're refering to end caps or extra baffles placed
somewhere at the middle of the secondary?? I've never used such
extra baffles.? 

Cheers,
John
