What do you have there? Is it a copier transformer, or
perhaps a bug-zapper transformer? Electrostatic air
cleaner? Anyhow, if it is current limited, you can
simply short out the HV side with an ammeter and read
the ma that way. It won't hurt the ammeter, as the
voltage will be shorted down to near zero volts. I
test NSTs and MOTs this way all the time. A multimeter
with an ammeter function is what I use.
