Hand helds are notorious for misreading swingers.

Interesting comment because I have found other swingers where I get readings that seem low.
I'll hang onto this choke.
It's rated at 7.5KV RMS so it would take quite a bit to burn it out.
Plus it's a top-of-the-Thordarson-line unit and presumably was used in a broadcast xmtr of some kind -- and commercial users typically use parts below max ratings.
You never know how much krap you have accumulated until you have to move it....
