Electronic NST waveforms

1) All modern electronic neon xfmrs i have seen have symmetrical output, that is, it is a CT output with the tap to ground. 2) The modern electronic neon xfmrs use switching for conversion of a rectified power line, so i expect that the output to be a squarewave; *no* "dwell" time engineered in. 3) All neon transformers have a design similar to CFL electronic supplies, in that they are designed for constant current; the high voltage is to "merely" break down the gas at start-up. Remember, once neon has been ionized, the voltage seen across it will be about 65V (am partly guessing, been a long time since i looked it up in the Chem Rubber Handbook of Chemistry and Physics). 4) If you really want to know, then take the transformer and sign *set* (yes, they are "matched") and a high voltage probe and look at one end.
