Hi all,

I've noticed several requests for information regarding the heating 
of NST's. We use Several different NST's in our manufacturing 
operations as power sources. Some of the units run for hours at a time.

Typically, a 15 KV, 30 Ma NST will heat to about 130/140 degrees F 
after long use. We have never had a failure for any reason. The three 
manufacturers unit we use are France, Transco, and Actown. Our 
preference for quality is France.

By the way, we still have a 15KV, 120 Ma Transco unit that is made 
for Cold Cathode use. (Non current limited) for sale if anyone is 
interested. This is about 60 Pounds of transformer and has never been 
used.It cost around $275.00 when we purchased it.
