Gerry,

I believe your mistaking the VOLTAGE rating for the
POWER rating. He states that it's a 34.5 "kV" not "kVA".
I don't see where he does give a kVA power rating of this beast, but I'd be reasonably sure that this baby would
best be rated in MVAs (mega-volt-amperes) instead of kVAs.
Also from looking at the largest HV insulator bushings that I
could see in the pics, I'd say that the 34.5 kV voltage rating is for the high voltage primary side of it. I don't think that he gives its low voltage output voltage rating, either, but I'd guess that it would be a lower standard primary line voltage, like 7200
volts, 7600 volts, 13.2 kV, ect.

Something doesnt sound right, only 35KVA and 99000lbs Sounds like a pole pig at 25KVA would be a much better power to weight solution. I bet the transformer is at least 345KVA
