Dave,

The Rental Guide was a "work in progress" not intended for public
download and has since been removed. That particular .zip file was a
file for a printer to download for a print test. A Rental Guide in PDF
format will be made available in the future.

The electrical figures quoted by kVA Effects are "Power Requirements"
not "Power Consumed". Power consumption varies from gig to gig and
therefore is not listed for any of our machines.

The Model 10J can use either 240v or 480v (we have a 75kVA
Stepdown/Iso). 480V is common in stadiums and arenas, so that's what
we'll list in the future.

As far a efficiencies, we hover in the 1kVA per foot range...

I was looking around the kVA effects site today and noticed a
discrepancy in 
the quoted power requirement for the 10J.  On the mian page at -

http://www.teslacoil-dot-com/html/content/equipment.htm

It is listed as 240V 100A (24kVA), but in the 'rental guide' -

http://www.teslacoil-dot-com/files/kVA Effects Rental Guide.zip

they list it as 480V 75A (36kVA), which is correct?  or is the coil 
configurable for either?  If so why is the efficiency so much poorer at
the 
higher input voltage?  Is it perhaps just a question of 75A being a 
'standard' feed?
