Re: [TCML] pad mount transformer tesla coil

[David Speck <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Clive,

A weight of 1028#, with 41 gallons of oil, and a $1500 price tag plus 
delivery cost might have something to do with it, especially when you 
can get a 10 kVA pig from Dr. Resonance for something like $150 or so. 

Electrically, I don't think there would be any reason why it wouldn't 
work.  Just this particular transformer would be overkill for all but 
the largest megacoil.  You would have to feed it 315 amps at 240 VAC to 
use its full rated capacity.
