Hi,
Picture of the 3phase pig is here 
http://www.silmeka.lt/lt/produktai/trifaziai_alyviniai_transformatoriai/25_kva/

-245kg
-5 voltage levels

About charging inductor:
I have kind of transformer 
http://img136.imageshack.us/my.php?image=closerview1iq1.jpg , I've no 
idea how many windings it has but it was inside X-ray power supply 
(65kV) filled with oil. I also have a 0.4kV to 36V 3phase transformer of 
similar size. Maybe one of them will act as charging inductor. I'll have 
to measure their inductance (somehow...) and think about it.
