Stan,

O yea, it would run on 7 to 9 kVA but would prefer 
15 or 18 kVA ;^) Taking out my pig would save nearly
400 lbs but still leave over 800 lbs of control panel, not
including the coil assembly itself. Even if fed 15 kVA, 
I'm sure it will still pale in comparison to the Big Bruiser!
I'd still like to try to bring it along, if I can, though ;^)
