Well, I depoted my 12/60 nst (I am never EVER using nst's again, they are 
no fun to depot) and I plug it in. Well, if attach the ground to the 
appropriate place, all the lights in my house dim for a second and then the 
circuit breaker shuts it off. If touch one of the hv ends (only one is 
working) to the ground, the circuit breaker trips, and when you untrip (is 
that a word?) it, the outlet still does not work. This sounds bad. What is 
going on with my transformer?
Thanks
