Hi!

I have wound my own transformer(2000VA), and I think it is about 11kV. I
have measured voltage on primary when secondary was connected to 230V, and
it was 4.5V. I have also measured spark lenght between two nails and it
was about 1,5cm. I have a table with spark lenght depanding on voltage,
but only between spherical electrodes (i dont have smooth metal spheres).
Can anyone using a 11kV transformer measure spark lenght between two wires
(about 1mm diameter)? If it will be also about 1,5cm I will be sure that
my transformer is really 11kV.  Thank You
