I sure hope that no one ever trips these in TC work.

Wallace,
	Thank you for the research. Rather than a copy, is there any
reference to the high voltage secondaries over voltage rating? For
5-10kVA distribution transformers with 7-15kV input voltages? There
may not be a single answer but a series of classes.

	Regards,
