[TCML] pole pig ballasting

["garry neeley" <bamacoiler@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys, I'm in need of a little help.  I've built several coils from
> 9kv30ma to 2.2 kva.  I recently aquired a 50kva pole pig and a
> 240v/280 out variac @ 30 amps.  I want to use all the power I can but
> I dont want to smoke my variac either.  I've been researching
> different ballasting methods but I'm still unclear.  ideally I would
> like to have 7.2kva out of the pig.  Which brings me to the question,
> how could I ballast the pig to only draw 30 amps @240v.  (on a budget)
> And how much do you think I could overate the variac meaning safe
> levels over 30 amps for short runs if possible at all.  Thanks in
> advance.
