<< Hi everyone
 
 Checking with my dad's power company, all of the distribution transformers 
 in my town are at 7200 V.  I may still be able to get one if i'm persistant, 
 but is 7200 going to run an appx. 3 kVA coil OK, or should I look for a 
 14.4?
 
 Thanks,
 Nathan

Nathan,

My transformer is a 14.4  5kva unit.  I feed it 240 volts in and get 14,400 
out.  I believe these transformers are rugged and over designed enough to 
allow you to input 240 volts in to the 120 volt tap and get 14,400 out of a 
7,200 volt unit.  Has anyone tried this?
