Hi All

The plate reads 2400/4160Y. Since the 4160 volts is for a Y-connection
between three such pigs, the most you can get is 2,400 volts with normal
input. The voltage is too low and the current too high for your typical
spark gap. If one had two such pigs, they could be series connected for
4,800 volts. With resonant charging, a two pig outfit would be quite a power
supply for a tesla coil.
