Hi all. 

I have just laid my hands on 3 railway polepigs. 2 2kVA and 1 4.5 kVA. 
They have an output of 10kV each and have 2x120V in(if i look at it as
they should be used in Tesla coil service :) )I had to
pay 45$ a piece, is that 
a reasonable price?? They have some rust here and there but seems ok.
They 
only need a little sanding and some paint and they'll be as new. 

My big question here is how do i current limit them since i suspect they 
will draw pretty much current. I have read about welders and electrical 
heating units but how do i do...... 

As much info as i can get would be appreciated. I don't wanna get fried. 
=)
