 Sure, it's fine. Plenty of voltage and juice. I would go with the 12470
 operation.

Bart, Gregg, all,

I hate to bust Gregg's bubble, but I think that the 12470 volt rating is for
 three-phase hook up and unless you have three phase service to
hook this baby to, you're only going to be able to obtain 7200 volts from
this beast. I agree with Bart that 12470 volts would definitely be a better
voltage choice than 7200 volts, but most distribution trannies are labeled
for single phase / three phase wye (7200/ 12470) and for single phase
coiling purposes, you have to go by the first number :-(

Spark safely,
