Hi Jim and others,

My 16 kV, 10 kVA pole pig has a test specification called B.I.L. 
which I believe stands for Basic Impulse Level.  The nameplate says
BIL 120,000 volts.  This I believe is the rating to look for in a 
good Tesla-able power transformer, the higher the BIL the better.  It 
must be linked to lightning induced transient survival.  Hope this is 
of some use.

Happy Coiling! rwstephens
