Hi Mike,

I have a problem with that theory that I hope you can help me 
with.  For a PIG ballasted at 5KVA, the Cres is 66nf.  For larger 
PIGs, the Cres is larger still.  The capacitance of a 40 foot length 
of RG8U is about 1.2nf. Im failing to see how 1.2nf can resonate with 
the PIG at line frequency. There must be some other frequency source 
for resonance to occur.  Im wondering if the resonance is with the TC 
fundamental frequency and the source is the secondary.  If so, a 50 
ohm resister in series with the coax at the TC end will give a source 
termination for the resonance and prevent an energy accumulation in the coax.
