More power

Richard,

In my quest to peak out my system, I have mentioned that I am going to
rebuild my RF ground (once more!) and reconnect all my primary components
with 3/8" copper tubing.  I was thinking that I have more voltage potential
that I have not used.  The Powerstat variac is capable of putting out more
than the 240 in.  I have not used that option yet.

I have two questions:  What connections are used for this feature?  I think
the terminals on the variac are numbered 1 - 5.  What is the maximum voltage,
I heard someone say 280 volts, is this correct?  With 280 volts in, at 60 :
1, I would have 16,800 volts out.  Will this smoke my 15 KV Condenser
Products capacitor?

Thanks,  Ed Sonderman
