Steve,

This sounds like quite a small system to be using pole transformer power.  I
am not sure you will be able to get static gaps to quench unless you have the
transformer throttled back a long ways.  I was not able to get my RQ spark gap
to quench using my 14.4 kv pole transformer with both inductive and resistive
ballast.  A pole transformer power supply usually means a rotary gap is
needed.
