Title pretty much says it all. I’m trying to find a current limiting ballast for a solid state tesla coil, and this has the right size and current draw, but I’d like to eliminate the motor screaming, if possible.

Thoughts?

    You may or may not be interested to hear that I took your warning to heart and I’m now planning on using an actual DC power supply, coupled with either a resistive or inductive ballast which will also be designed for that purpose.

    I’m sure the original plan is easily workable for someone with training or education, but for an amateur, it was too far outside the box to find reliable information and feel confident in it
