Reply to Stan:
We usually run 20-30 Amperes on the primary side at 220 VAC (these are
measured RMS values). You can usually run a "pig" at twice rating KVA
for
Tesla oscillator duty cycles. If you use a small thermister to monitor
xmfr oil temp that will give you a good indication of what's happening
inside.
