Experiments with a (DR)SSTC2

A Slight Diversion.

Whilst deciding if I aught to change to IGBT's I had an idea. I was looking through my workshop and found a large bulb that I'd bought ages back, and the SSTC was sitting in the corner un-used.

So....

I added a 1000W 240v bulb to the toroid to give some Plasma globe effects.
