What are the special requirements of a high voltage ground? I know that neon sign transformers and even x-Ray transformers use the standard center ground of an outlet. Is this inappropriate for a fusor? Can you use the center ground if you do it through the chamber body to prevent ground loops?
Thank you for clarifying.

Re: Grounding Demo and Real Fusor
We have written about "star grounds" before to avoid ground loops. I have just completed a FAQ on "star" grounding in this forum's FAQ heading.

Thank you so much for clarifying this dimension of a fusor.
