Hi all
X-ray transformers are single phase and run to 60kV for dental x-rays to 120
kv for mobile medical x-rays and up for more specialised medical x-rays.
This one would be a specialised ?metallurgical military one.  This would
need to be in transformer oil and very well soaked before use otherwise
internal arcing will occur.

To see a dental x-ray transformer in action see

that it came from a tank containing three such 1-phase transformers, which
were combined in some sort of connection, for three phase input.
