Seems big to me ;-))

5kVA 240 to 14400.
215 pounds
13.4 inches in diameter
26 inches tall at tank top
34 inches tall overall.

21 amps rated but I have variacs that can easily do 30.  "Theoretically" it 
could make 12 foot arcs ;-))

( 1.7 x SQRT (240 x 30 ) ) / 12 = 12.02 feet

But more like 10 feet if you don't push things.

I didn't need it really, but it is freshly rebuilt and tested with new 
mineral oil and all.  Just couldn't let it get away ;-))

Cheers,

         Terry
