Still learning about high power amps, so please excuse this simple question. A
reply about air gap recently said:

Tnx, Bill. 0.125" has a working potential rating of 4500v, which
is at least 1200v higher that what should be there.
end
Is the air gap measured from the stator to stator plates, or between the rotor
to stator plate? My assumption is that it is between the rotor to stator plate
as that would be the minimum spacing?
The ARRL handbook references the air puncture voltage is 240 volts per 0.001
inch. But that doesn't work out for the 0.125" referenced in the above
question.
Thanks in advance for replies,
Dennis
