To add some more data...
We can carry our prototype to the top of the ramp and leave it there. Run it a few minutes on top and it will arc as soon as any part of it gets over the ramp. We have tried anchors, (pieces of RF gasketing made of woven wire and they did not help. As to the faraday cage, we suspect that the problem is not the controller itself but the wiring connected to the controller picking up the induced pulse that is causing the problem. Of course we are having problems with our custom circuit board as well. "Still needing more data...must have data!"
