With a one bushing pig (only one isolated HV terminal) you are
forced into one of two possible directions: 1) grounded tank
circuits, 2) Running the core "hot" by placing the transformer
on an insulated platform.
The first choice really limits your selection of tank circuit
configurations, and my experience with grounded tank circuits is
that they are generally lower Q than floating tank circuits that
oscillate ungrounded.
The second choice is not safe.

This of course depends on the circuit and the application. I have
been running this pig through the paces more or less to get a
feel for it. I have been testing, making changes, testing some
more, then making more changes. I guess the best answer I could
give would be "not much".
