RE: [TCML] ABB Potential Transformer & Franceformer

["Dr.Hankenstein" <dr.hankenstein@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I remember correctly the VIZ-11 (VIZ=indoor  VOZ=outdoor) PT's Can be
used in a wye or delta configuration allowing it to be grounded on either
high leg. I would ground the H2 (H1 has the white dot). This is a good
choice for Tesla Coils. I have a friend running a GE 1.5 kva PT, and it's a
brute. X1 should be the hot 120 volt leg and X2 the neutral. If not already
removed, remove the fuses as the output of the xfmr is on the "unmarked"
side of the xfmr, opposite the terminals marked H1 and H2. only drawback is
I believe the winding is aluminum. Has a Z or ZZ output burden (nothing
coilers need to worry about).

Subject: [TCML] ABB Potential Transformer & Franceformer

Greetings All,

I am currently planning to step-up from using neon-sign transformers and
just recently bought an ABB potential transformer (i.e., ABB voltage
transformer type VIZ-11, 120 to 14400V, 1.5 KVA).  It is a two fuse type and
is rated 110 BIL.  Would anyone know if I can run this transformer with one
output grounded?  

Also, I now have four neon sign transformers that I¹m wanting to sell.  They
are 12 KV, 60 mA, Franceformers that are in very-good and like-new
condition.  I¹m wanting to sell these quickly on ebay, so I¹m wondering if
anyone would know what would be a reasonable asking price.

Thanks,

Mike
