ABSTRACT
This research aims to present the study of the effect of Tesla Transformer induce to find the proper dimension. Result will
bring to create the design of Tesla Transformer to reduce the High Voltage Electric Field Stress problem which is happen
between Primary Winding and Secondary Winding. Because the Tesla Transformer is use induce between this two
winding through the air so that it would be the problem insulation. The winding which has the space is Dielectric, while
there are create the high voltage in the transformer, it would flash over voltage from the high voltage winding to the low
voltage winding that would be damage to the transformer and other device. Research process, the researcher has to
study the lay down model of the two winding in the transformer. By consideration from induce that proper for Tesla
Transformer reproduce by using FEMLAB program. And compare the Tesla Transformer reproduce which is created the
voltage at 120 kV and frequency 120 kHz. The result which is from the compare is the proper lay down position of Primary

Winding and the voltage which has design without the flash over. It has to be wind whorl coil at 60 angels from the
floor. It would have induced more than other model. Voltage that can measure and have the most proper voltage electric
field stress while compare with the lay down of Primary Winding which has the angle from the floor at 0,30,45,60 and 90
angels. The consideration from the reproduce by using FEMLAB program and the result from the test is there are no flash
over between the high voltage winding to the low voltage winding while there are lay down the primary winding at the 60
angle.
