I'm going to stack 2 x identical sheets of 3/4" plywood together in the
new 24" rack.
The 127 lb Dahl 4H choke will sit dead center on the plywood. Is run
of the mill
paint in a spray bomb conductive ? Or should I be using indoor latex,
outdoor latex... or something else, like BBQ repair high temp paint ? Or
perhaps fire resistant paint ?
2x2 angle aluminum down each side of rack, with plywood on top of em.
Entire mess will be up off the bottom just enough so I can get my
hands underneath to tighten up the 1/4-20 nuts. 1/4-20 is max size
that will fit the 4 x slotted holes in the 2 x angle steel's, at base
of choke.
I don't trust the insulation breakdown..... which is just a single sheet
of....'fishtape' at bottom of each side of choke. Fishtape partially
torn on one side. Each sheet is 21 x 22.75
Only the top sheet and front and rear edges to be painted. Its just
for aesthetics. The choke is part of a C-L-C experiment I am
playing with these days..for a B+ supply. Choke has a 25 kv-65 A spst-nc
kilovac ceramic relay across it.... plus an adjustable spark gap. Spark
gap is just a pair of 1/4-20 silver plated brass screws..with 1/4-20 acorn
nuts facing each other.
