it will stay charged, and in the end burn the coil out
f the +VE side was to be disconnected, what would be the effect?
it would discharge through the ht
Now obvioulsy the coil would stop working, but how soon would it do so, would it still pulse on the next couple of cycles till it had run out of stored charge, or would the spark stop happen instantly?
discharge straight away,, once!
So as soon as the cicuit is broken on the low tension side, by either the ground OR the +VE, it will fire the coil then?
Arse, back to the drawing board then, as I wanted a way to cut it WITHOUT it disharging the coil, but by the sounds of it that wont be possible!
