I was thinking whether to buy a solid state or an iron cored neon sign transformers. Turn out; solid state neon transformers can work. Thanks for watching. Test run of a solid state neon sign transformer output 12kv @ 700mA input 220v 120 watts
That arc definitely doesn't look like it's carrying 700mA and I see "30mA" on the transformer next to the 12kVrms, which probably indicates it outputs 30mA.
ahahahahaha probably 20mA but NOT 700mW at all

12000V x 0,7A = 8400W
It says 700mA at the input.

That arc doesn't look like 700mA. It looks closer to 20-30mA. Check your transformer. I think you may have read the ratings incorrectly.

If that is outputting 8.4 kW with only 120W in, you may have just solved the world's energy crisis.

Um... If that was 700mA, your wires would be pretty toasty.... Doesnt look like it.

A couple of questions.
How long were those arcs?
what model of transformer is it?
and does that transformer have open circuit protection?
thanks
