What gauge of wire is used for the primary and secondary? thanks
Well, 18-22 awg for the primary and then 24 and thinner should work well for a secondary. Our Tesla coil kits will ship with 32 awg for the secondary, and 22 awg for the primary. The complete larger coils will probably see 18 awg for the primary.
