Are you indeed referring to the oil-filled high voltage transformer core in the older model generators? (Newer ones tend to use solid state voltage multipliers). I recall that there were issues with those things that were eventually traced to elevated humidity. Now, that was humidity around 80% whi

Bill, What do you mean by "high voltage tank"? When I hear this term, I think of the oil- (and PCB-) filled tank housing the transformer on an old generator; but there's nothing like that on the R-Axis. Do you mean the blue box housing the detector controller? If so, then I can tell you that we

Hi Citizens: We seem to run through high voltage tanks on our Raxis IV like guano goes through a goose. Has anyone else had this problem, and, more importantly, what is the best way to protect them. I am assuming it might have something to do with our electrical supply, which is a bit unrelia
