Tesla usually showed a generator as his source of power. If you built one today, you would use a high voltage transformer so your input frequency would be 50/60 Hz. The spark gap is generating the high frequency pulses that need to be removed by the chokes to protect the transformer.


And no, I'm not you. That is just tito trying to confuse people again.

And what harm would the rf do to the transformer?

I can see that if you didnt want what ever is happening on the cap and output side, not to be affected by the input sec.  But I just dont see the issue with the transformer being damaged by rf.  If it wouldnt make it through the 2 chokes, why would it enter a high inductance sec?

Just constructive conversation,  and no argument. ;]

Yeah no problem,

I'm not completely sure what the high frequency would do to the transformer but a good guess is that it would probably burn out or short. The high frequency current usually runs on the outside of the wire (skin effect) whereas the 50/60 Hz would run inside the wire. Since the wire in the transformer is sized to carrier a specific current limit at 50/60 Hz, the the high frequency would be an issue.

As far as your second post, I'm not totally following you on your statement. Let me give it one more try, maybe I'm not explaining it clearly.
The way I see it is that the transformer is running at 60Hz. Input is 110VAC output 10,000VAC @60Hz. The HV would continue to be at 60Hz. What is generating the high frequency is the rotary spark gap. The chokes will not effect the 60Hz going to the spark gap but it will quench the high frequency generated at the spark gap from working it's way back to the secondary windings.

I hope that is what you were asking.

I get what your saying.   To your knowledge, was all of teslas ac gens working at 60hz?

I know he used dc also.
