Re: [TCML] Insulating the primary coil



Hey Steve...

As far as insulating the primary itself, there is really no need to do so except for the mounting methods. If secondary strikes are your concern, then a strike rail would be one of the better choices. Adjusting toroid height can affect the field somewhat and change streamer direction to a degree, but that isnt even gaurenteed.... Some coilers have gone as far as placing Lexan/Plexiglas sheets over the primary to reduce the potential of a secondary/primary strike with some sucsess...

What is the current wisdom on insulating the primary coil? Does this help to reduce strikes on the primary?
Or is it much better to leave the coil exposed and add a strike rail?

Thanks,
Steve
