[Amps] Massive transformer

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Hi Gary, your transformer was designed to use a filter choke followed by  
modest C type filter. With this type filter you should be able to supply 
several  hundred milliamperes of current.
 
You might want to compare your transformer with others from that era  
considering weight and voltage. You will need an old catalog from UTC, Stancor  
or Thordarson to do that.

I picked up a large maybe 70-80 pound transformer that has only  a 115 
primary.  I measured secondary voltage at about 5200 v.    The secondary 
resistance is 147 ohms.  Am I correct in assuming I wont  get much current out of 
this??
