Yes if you rectify it (a use for those old 1B3, 3A3 tubes) and use a very small 
cap (.001 or mf or less) as a filter sure.  Remember to current limit the 
output so you do not cause damage due to flashover and protect your analog 
meter with 2 diodes across the terminals.  For  a filament supply you can use a 
"D" cell for short term use.

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.
