I THINK you are going to use a full wave rectifier (2 strings of modern diodes), into a choke, and 
get 3000 volts out, at 500 ma = 1500 watts.  Perfect, right at the legal limit. (Ignoring bleeder load.)
And the primary is going to suck 1690 watts from the line, resulting in a 190 watt loss in the core.

Of course I could be wrong, but I get some extra credit for being first to turn in my quiz don't I?
