In a message dated 97-11-16 17:57:07 EST, you write:

<< 
 Are ballasts usually required on higher powered coils that use pole pigs
 or do you need them
 for neon driven coils, too?  I am primarily interested in neon driven
 coils so if a ballast is needed(and I did not have any with my first
 coil of many years ago) how do you determine the rating?  If you go
 inductive do you build them yourself?

Russ,

Both neon sign transformers and oil burner ignition transformers are
internally current limited and require no external ballasting.
