[AMPS] ferro-resonant transformers?

[Steve Bauder]

I have access to a few good sized ferro-resonant transformers that were
in tower strobe lighting equipment. Good for a couple amps at 1400volts.
I would think the self regulating properties of ferro-resonant
transformers would make them excellent candidates for plate
transformers, but watching the secondary voltage drop to nearly 0 every
time the strobe tube fires kind of worries me. I would think that if I
keep the current well under the saturation point that they would be
better than standard iron. Any thoughts?
