Good evening comrades!
I am stuck on the design of my first Tesla Coil. Having built plasma speaker and having some experience with High Voltage, I must move forward with this project. I will be using 4 Microwave Oven Transformers in Series current limited by a series connected Balum. My question is: Should I or should I not Earth the center tap of the MOT stack that I will use to power my coil?
Here is my design:
Earthed Version
Un-Earthed Version
