  7kV at 3 amps? Bloody hell, what are you building? Remind me to buy stock in your local power company.

  Just a heads up to the group...

  I have been working with Harbach for a couple of weeks trying to come up with a
  20 to 30 KVA transformer they could build -- you know, a 250 to 450 pound
  hypersil like Peter used to build all the time.

  At first I was told that he could build me  a 250LB transformer for about
  $1500.  Then he said that it might be closer to $2000.  

  Today he told me could not build me a 250 pounder -- get this... 7000V at 3A
  for anything less than $4000.  He said the A-0550 core alone is $2000.

  Bottom line -- Jeff may own the rights to the Dahl designs, but he doesn't
  have the faintest clue what to do with them.  I get the impression he is scared
  to death to build a big transformer.

  He spends more time telling you what he can't do, rather than what he can
  do.

  Better look around if you are looking for big iron -- Harbach is a dead end...
