Careful! I KNOW a guy who caught his panel box on fire - almost took
his house out along with 5 foot of entrance cable...
I wonder if these arcs allow the primary cap bank to dump through the
secondary of the pig - thus creating a HUGE current back out the primary
- which causes all these breakers to pop, etc. Are you using any chokes
or resistances between the pig and the primary cap bank?
Or perhaps the large surge through the pig's secondary might momentarily
saturate the core - causing large draws from the mains?? (just a
thought)
Sounds similar (kinda) to what happened to Bill Wysock over at:

More later! Sounds like some really impressive results!
