Spellman Arc Detection

Post by Peter Schmelcher »

A nice short description of Arc detection what it is and is not.
I guess with a big resistor and small capacitor one could construct a low pass filter on the HV output to reduce the Arc tripping sensitivity while still protecting the HV power supply electronics.
