Agreed. Speaking for myself I previously stated that I have observed
voltages far higher than the o/c output voltage of the transformer
but never mentioned a specific figure and certainly never claimed
more than 2x o/c or 2x o/c for that matter. As far as the bushing
observation goes (not mine) there may have been surface tracking at
work (possibly? perhaps??).
