Hi
Actually it won't make a particularly good Jacobs
ladder. If it doesn't blow a breaker, the rods
will most likely melt off. It is not like a neon
sign transformer that is current limited, it is
a transformer that is current rated. Let me see,
60Kv at 30ma is 1800W. How long so you think the
rods will hold up to such power.
I recommend having a fire extinguisher handy.
