Hi Bart,Captain,

3 pigs put in series , seems too much ($$) to solve
the problem of low output voltage.If someone has got
full store of pole transformers ,and doesn't know what
to do with them,ok he could use them as you
said,isolation level on the last one will be enough I
guess.

Captain:how about to try adequate reso cap , inductive
ballast  and 60 BPS srsg discharge operation?
Some folks in past reported of still having good
results in 60 BPS area,depending on given bang size
and system arrangments.
You will have lower charging power factor that way
,but who cares if power used is high enough for your
purposes.
How spark growth will respond is a gamble here,but it

doesn't cost you  much to try it.

regards,
Boris
