Thanks for posting the SPICE analysis for 3-500Z arc over, Ian. There
are folks who poo-poo SPICE models (such as Bob Pease, the National
Semiconductor guy), but I belive that they have value in transient
analysis such as this, as long as inductances and capacitances of
strays are included as best as they are known. We use them all the
time nowadays early in design stage of projects. I am still
struggling with modelling huge capacitor banks that are series
parallel, when one cap shorts out.
