first one is a 120-7200v transformer. like a pole pig, needs to be ballasted. 2nd one is a 25A-5A current transformer, which i don't think can be used to step up voltage.

While on a hunting expedition in an industrial salvage co., I found a number of GE Potential transformers that all looked substantially similar. Could not identify all of them due to the way they were stored. The units are rectangular in section and the sides taper towards the top where there are two heavy terminals. The bodies are ribbed like an insulator. Didn't have any way to measure, but guess they stand about 16" high.

The two I could get at had mfg. plate info: GE Potential Transformer, Type JVW-5, 60:1, Primary 7200kV, Imp. Level 110kV FW
GE Potential Transformer, Type JKW-5 current transformer, 25:5, Imp. Level 110 kV


Any ideas what these are?

And, does anyone know the status of Dr. R. ?

Thanks,
