An open circuit vs the standard closed circuit

So on your capacitor electrons captor where one leg originates from a bottle of water it's ok if the live wire exceeds the voltage rating of the cap?

Hi tomd, thanks for the pictures.
The GDT may not be needed since there is resistor R-1 that maintains the cap voltage and varistor V-1 limits te voltage through ground G-2. But what bothers me is ground G-1 of the neon sign transformer - in my opinion it should be internally connected to the center tap of the module's HV side, but from the pictures I don't see a third center tap wire from that or any similar module:

...so are we gonna build something? Where do we get the right neon sign transformer and the output isolation transformer? Will a MOT do for testing?

Just to be clear. This is what we are dealing with and Vortex has been adamant about.

I think it's worthwhile. Just need to get everything clear in my head first.
This is the nst Don used: https://www.ventextech.com/products/vt4015-12/
But a suitable nst with a peak voltage of around 4000 volts should be ok. The ventex model doesn't require a inverter so that's less expense I guess.

The isolation transformer is another matter. However the output is 28.8Kw (480v at 60amps).
