Turned it down, turned it back up
and got a spark at 60kV.

has many small areas that are difficult to
access so I am not sure how great a job I

at voltages over 54kV there are small discharges,
rising to a continuous level around 60kV.

of the HV duct to suppress discharges from
the sharp edge of the duct.

that go between the poles of the target and
tube heaters, and between those two supplies.
