Another possible transformer for a hi-pot tester is the ones in a "bug Zapper". 
I am referring to the ones that look like an old fashioned coach lamp, not the 
smaller electronic types.

The ones in the coach lamp type produce about 4000 volts at about 5 ma.
I have seen them at garage sales for a dollar or two.

Hello,

Can a 10 KV, 30 mA., xfmr used for a neon light be used in a hipot tester?
Seems like a natural with just a small variac used to vary the primary
voltage (120 VAC) for adjusting the output voltage.
