Nathan,

You can use two of these units with the secondaries connected in series,
tieing the common interconnection point to ground, to give you 14.4 kV.
Connect the primaries in parallel. This approach is sometimes used with
single bushing lower voltage transformers, but can be equally applied to
two-bushing transformers. 

Safe coilin' to you!
