[TCML] Brand new 34.5kV 10kVA pig for $300 in PA

[David Rieben]

Hi Aaron, all,

Wow, 34.5 kV, not 34.5 kV Y/ 19.9 kV. Not sure if I've
ever seen a pig rated at JUST 34,500 volts. I suppose its 
designed to cross 2 phases of a 19.9 kV, 3-phase service.
700 lbs. sure seems awfully hefty for a mere 10 kVA, though. 
I might would bite if I didn't have to deal with the high freight 
charges of getting it to me. Besides, I already have a couple 
of pole pigs, a 150 kV, 600 mA x-ray transformer that's been 
modified with pole pig type bushings for it's HV output, which 
makes for a wicked Jacob's ladder, 
http://youtube.com/watch?v=0dLTEOM3qQc   (sorry about 
the poor image quality) and a dry 15 kVA, 20,000 volt bom-
barder transformer, so I'm not really hurting for big high voltage 
transformers enough to justify spending that kind of money.
As a matter of fact I just recently sold one of my 15 kVA pig
units.

Maybe one of the PA coilers could work out getting this unit
and forgo the costly freight charges. I do hope that some
coiler can give it a good home and put it to good use ;^)

David
