Does a potential transformer require protection like a neon transformer?
Would it be reasonable to use just a safety gap?

How much difference would one except in output with this PT verses a
bank of four 15KV at 30ma (120 ma total) neon transformers?

I am not ready for a pig but this seems a good compromise.

Hi all,

At a recent Teslathon, I showed a coil powered by a potential
transformer,
ballasted by a 500 foot roll of 12 gauge wire.  The transformer looks
like a
car battery and is about 95 pounds.  It is a 1.5 KVA, and I typically
run it
at about 20 A and 120 volts.  At that input, the output is 14,400V and
175
mA.  It packs a punch, is compact, and not too heavy.

Anyway, there is one for sale now on eBay for a "Buy it now" price of
$280.

If you can pay the price, it is a nice tranny.  But, if you don't like
that
price, the seller has at least 5 more that he would part with for $200
(plus
shipping).

All you have to do is contact him directly and tell him I (Terry Blake)
sent
you for the $200 PT deal.

He is Matt Stiger, and his email is;

Or contact him through the eBay page if you like.

Cheers.
