Re: [TCML] pole pig protection
It's almost impossible to kill a pig that size. More important to protect
the low voltage side to keep transients and RF from going back into the line. I
doubt that your choke is really helping anything, and it may even cause
problems.

I have a 25KVA pole pig I am using for my large tesla coil (the coil only
uses about 5-6KVA). I am using a hand wound RF choke to protect the RF from
the coil from getting back into the pig. It is wound with 16 gauge wire
onto a 8 inch sonatube. I measured the inductance with RLC meter to be
10mH. My pole pig has two HV leads with one grounded and the other
connected through this choke to my coil. I have not used the coil in awhile
(been a busy summer). I was going to start using it again but I wanted to
make sure this is sufficient to protect my piggy! Any advice would be
helful.
