Whoa!  You're just a bit optimistic :^)

Here are some preliminary operating specs for the new coil: 

Input power -   130kVA  (380V, 200A, 3-phase)
Resonant freq - 38kHz

I have tech brief on a German coil (circa 1964) that ran at 20.3 kHz, and
if I understand correctly it operated at 200kVA, using a single static
spark gap with an air blast across it!!!
