Hey Ben, I just recently got a 9/30 Actown and a 15/60 Franceformer and I
should be getting lots more soon (I found some GREAT connections!) Anyways, a
9/30 only draws about 270 watts, which is about as much as a mid-sized
computer, so unless you are running your computer, stereo amplifier, big-screen
TV, and microwave all at the same time, I don't see any reason why you should
need another breaker. They only draw about 2.5 amps and most residential
outlets are either 15 or 20 amps. As far as connecting in to the mains there
should be 2 high voltage bushings (insulators) which and 2 low voltage
bushings. The low voltage bushings are usually smaller than the HV bushings and
are sometimes marked PRI. (primary) and the HV output is sometimes marked SEC.
(secondary) The input should be screw terminals so just take an old power cord
(must have a 3rd ground prong!) and cut one end off then connect the black and
white wires to the line input terminals and the green wire to the ground screw.
If you have a variac, great, if not, I reccomend using a surge protector (power
strip) with a switch on it so you can turn it on and off easily without
removing the plug.
    Glad to help, Jake D.

Hi all,
I was wondering how I would go about connecting a 9/30 NST to a
powersource. Would I need to add anothe rbreaker so I can run higher than
normal household wattage? Also, which side is the input and which side is the
output? I am using a franceformer. 
Thanks in advance,
Ben
