In a message dated 97-01-05 01:30:22 EST, you write:

<< You could put the outputs of the two 2500 volt transformers in series,
giving
 you 5000 volts, and double the power capability. This may be superfluous
 info, but for 120 volt operation, connect the primaries in parallel, for 240
 volt operation, put the primaries in series, but in either case, be sure the
 transformers are in phase.  If they're not in phase, they'll draw mucho
amps,
 but give no output.   5 kV is on the low end, but will work, but gaps will
 have to be closely spaced.   If you use a 140 volt output "step-up" variac,
 you will get almost 6 kV output. 
 
 Happy coiling

John,

I think this is dangerous with center tapped transformers as you would have
to float both transformer cases.
