Glenn,
Try and get a 5KVA pig Cettainly no more than 10KVA. Try to get at
least 12KV input, preferably a two bushing unit. Obviously, a single
phase unit and not an industrial (poly-phase type) They probaly don't
make poly phase 5 and 10KVA units on a regular basis; Certainly not at
the normal sources of supply, but be cautious. That's all there is to
it.
