I've found out some more pig details. The unit is actually a 75kVA 3 
phase pig. It has a 415 LV side and an 11000 HV side. Unfortunately, to 
make it useful for TC use I would have to wire two primaries in 
parallel and two secondaries in series. If I only use one set of 
windings with my 240v socket, I will only get 5500 or so volts at the 
secondary. I don't know much about 3 phase transformers, but I do know 
that the ability to set up the transformer in the above configuration 
is dependent on whether the unit has a star or delta configuration. I 
don't know as of yet, which configuration the unit has. I will find out 
when I go to see it on Monday. Can someone explain to me exactly how 
this works and how I would go about setting up this system.
