You can also use them as a Hi-Pot tester. Connect the secondary as a
voltage quadrupler to get 12 KV. Used for testing voltage breakdown. Check
oyut Hi-Pot testers. They are current limited breakdown testers.

Also make reasonable good door stops. The primary wires can be formed into
a carrying handle.

Thanks for idea: Yup recall using 2Kv static DC testers on gear rated
for 48 volts!
