Re: [TCML] pole pig protection

[Sfxneon@xxxxxxx]

It's almost impossible to kill a pig that size. More important to protect  
the low voltage side to keep transients and RF from going back into the line. I  
doubt that your choke is really helping anything, and it may even cause  
problems.

I have a  25KVA pole pig I am using for my large tesla coil (the coil only
uses about  5-6KVA).  I am using a hand wound RF choke to protect the RF from
the  coil from getting back into the pig.  It is wound with 16 gauge  wire
onto a 8 inch sonatube.  I measured the inductance with RLC meter  to be
10mH.  My pole pig has two HV leads with one grounded and the  other
connected through this choke to my coil.  I have not used the  coil in awhile
(been a busy summer).  I was going to start using it  again but I wanted to
make sure this is sufficient to protect my  piggy!  Any advice would be
helful.
