Steve,
The potential transformer is a tough beast and can take short over loads of
two times nameplate with ease and three times over for very short periods.
This is not a normal use for any transformer, but they can take Tesla
service well. I have run two series connected 1.5KVA units to 10kva for
20-30 second periods with no problem. The cores were probably saturated at
that level though.
