Hi,
Sorry for the confusion here. I was talking about the resonating
5KV-at-300mA transformers a few of us bought. The 5Kv-at-300mA transformers
have a resonate winding right under the secondary and most certainly
could not accept a DC input. I thought that was what Steve had and
was going to try putting DC on that winding. Should have changed the
subject since the xformers are not saturable reactors.
