Fwd: [TCML] 100kVA trannies as salvage?

I use a 50kva trannie. Nothing wrong with ballasting it down for whatever  
power you need.

> I saw a couple of 100 kVA pole transformers in the yard of a local HVAC  
contractor a while back. At least they are marked with the '100' on the  
side. They are huge, maybe 5' tall (it has been a while, need to go back  
and look at them again), and must weigh a lot. I was thinking of calling  
them and offering them salvage value for them, or $50. I think they are  
really too big for me to use, as they are much bigger than the one feeding  
my house and about 5 others!
> But they may be worth dismantling... Does anyone know how big the cores  
are (if they are indeed 100kVA) and if it might be worth placing it in a  
smaller container and using at lower power, or would that be too  
inefficient?
