Inductor on NST Output

Charles73, Wed May 20 2020, 07:25AM

I could swear I've asked this before, but I can't find the thread. But this is a practice I've seen before and can't figure out why it would be done.

Is there a benefit or reason to putting an inductor in series with the secondary of an NST for Jacobs Ladder and Tesla Coil applications?

I have attached some examples.


I appreciate any insight!

Well, I tried to attach pictures. But basically it's exactly how it sounds. One of the examples can be found here:
