Re: [TCML] GF NST,s



What's your circuit?

Gary, I am far from technical when it comes to this stuff as I am sure you
can see by a lot of my questions! It was just a fluke that I tried this out
of boredom. All I know is that it works. Take the resisters out, and GF
pops.
The resisters are similar in appearance to these >

Maybe it works because, in my ignorance, I didn't know it wouldn't😉

I can't comment on your GF working in a TC.  I've not personally tried it,
but the prevailing wisdom is that it typically doesn't work in a TC
application.  I wonder if higher voltage GF NST's are more affected than
lower voltage ones?

The resistors - 1KOhm, 25Watt, 210-what?  What are these for?  It sounds
like they're intended to be part of a protection network, except that
resistors must be used with capacitors to form a low-pass filter network.
By themselves or with safety gaps, resistors serve no protective purpose.

I had a 6K GF NST laying around and decided to see if I could use it on a
small TC. I ran a 1K 25w210 wire wound resistor between each leg of the
NST
and the safety gap, it worked just fine. I switched the GF 6kv NST with a
non GF 6kv nst and the coil output was identical.
I was always told that a GF NST would not work for a TC??
Resistors are holding up ok.
Comments please
