Original poster: "Gerry Reynolds" <gerryreynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>An unballasted PIG can be dangerous (more so than if ballasted). If the PIG was "good", what you say would work. However, if there was a short in the PIG somewhere, you would certainly hope the breakers opened and not be fused short.

Original poster: Yurtle Turtle <yurtle_t@xxxxxxxxx> I'm not sure you understand what ballasting is for. You can hook up your pig to 240 on the LV with no ballast, as long as your HV load doesn't cause you to exceed your LV breaker. If you had no load, it would be just fine. If you had a HV probe, you could easily measure 14,400 volts, without the need for a ballast. Hooking up 120 or 240 to the HV side is no different. Adam
