Re: [TCML] pad mount transformer tesla coil



Hey Clive...

as is, it would work fine for coiling but the draw backs are size weight cost and a power supply needed to use it to its capacity. Just a rough estimate would be around 350 A at 240 VAC to run it. Most "home" feeders go to 200A from the pole and most distribution trannies in residential areas ( in the USA) are rated for 25KVA, probably black out he neighborhood before you got it up to half power.

Hello,
Has anybody tried using a padmount transformer to drive a coil? I haven't seen this or heard of anyone using a transformer like this one here: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Cooper-75-KVA-1PH-OA-Pad-Mount-Transformer_W0QQitemZ200130886048QQihZ010QQcategoryZ42881QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

This is merely academic, I just wondered if there was a good reason these aren't widely used.
