Hi Dave,

Yes, with a PIG, the transformer is close to ideal, so I will see if it is ideal enough in time.

     With an arcing (i think it was Jacobs Ladder?) load,
     the output voltage of the transformer will drop a lot.
     Turns ratio neads modification to account for internal
     impedance.
