Anyone know where you can find out what wires when your building a tesla coil?
I'm building a 10,000 tesla coil, and i was wonder if anyone knew what type of wire you could connect to the secondary,transformer or primary winding because such a voltage is going through them?
Well, the primary needs to be a heavy gauge wire, as it may have to handle quite a bit of current. Voltage rating on the insulation isn't terribly important, as the voltage is relatively low on the primary, and is often separated from the secondary by an air gap. For the secondary, you obviously need cables rated for high voltage if you are actually going to attach them to the output. If other factors aren't important (Size of the cable, cost, etc.), go with higher rated cables. The main reason for the rating is the insulation. If you use typical low voltage wire, and the wire gets close to something metallic, it can arc right through the insulation. 10KV is relatively low for a Tesla coil. You can actually get much more out of an automotive ignition coil. You can also use ignition wires on the output of your coil, but be aware that most modern cables are 'suppression' cables, and have a high resistance to help eliminate ignition noise in car radios. Get the stranded metal ignition cables if you go that route.
You can also find HV cables on ebay. Just search for high voltage cables.
