[TenTec] Induction Field [WAS - PS grounding]

[ac5e at comcast.net]

Bob, an induction field is an induced current, or voltage, resulting from current flow. Lotsa current equals lotsa induction field. Which, according to the local street preacher, is often followed by checking out a harp and wings. 

The human body is essentially a high resistance one turn inductor. In lab testing during the 1950's more than 5 Kv at 10 A was measured in a cadaver near a lab lightning stroke. And lab lightning is a very mild cousin to the wild lightning generated in a thunderstorm. Do not put your unshielded self or anything you value near anything that will attract the wild stuff. 

And I forgot who asked, but yes, your rotor cables need to be lightning arrestored, grounded, and anything else that can be done to keep the big sparks away.
