Source?

@Neotesla: What is your source for this equivalent circuit? It looks wrong. If the vertical capacitances represent the parasitic capacitance between each turn of the coil, then they should be connected directly between the coil turns. Instead each turn has a second capacitance between the vertical capacitance and the coil. Where did you get this equivalent circuit?

A minor additional point; the capacitances are shown connected only to every other turn; this might cause some confusion in nontechnical readers. --Chetvorno (talk) 23:52, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

@Chetvorno: If you look for past literature about high voltage transformer, you can find many example. The stray capacitance of the high voltage winding in detail should be written as example Fig.6 . Please pay attention to the first layer here. Parasitic capacitance has Cw component and Cs component. The Cs component is very important, and without this Cs component, no time delay occurs on the secondary coil. When measuring the Tesla coil, time delay has occurred on the secondary coil. Therefore, the Cs component is mandatory.--Neotesla (talk) 23:26, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

What does Cs and Cw stand for? ZFT (talk) 18:08, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

I understand that the vertical capacitances have to be represent each turn of the coil, and should be connected directly between the coil turns. It should give a more detailed description, but it will be too complicated. If modification is necessary, I will modify it, but as a result it have to be the circuit which causes time delay.--Neotesla (talk) 00:51, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
