Re: Pole pigss with delivery!!

With the price of copper going up (went to Lowe's and can't believe the 10/2 wire is $30 for 25 feet) that's a heck of a deal (scrap copper in it could probably get $100). I'm afraid to even check the 2 awg square magnet wire prices for my next 120A ballast, might just use less wire and more core, tho I don't really wanna go bigger than 5x5x20 (heavy to the point of being heavier than the transformer if so).

There is a used machinery dealer in Nashville TN that sells used transformers. I just bought a 30KVA transformer 480 volt primary step down to 240 volts for $200.00. I drove and picked it up. Transformer is now hooked up and it works fine. The guy has 3 HV power line pole transformers he quoted me a price of $75.00 for a 14.4 Kv 10kva transformer. He says there is not much call for the HV transformers so he sells them cheaper to get rid of them. Shipping is FOB by truck. The HV transformer price seems like an OK deal, I think truck shipping will probably be the killer. I will get his Name, Address, Phone, Monday when I am at work if I don't forget just incase someone is interested.
