I believe that they're AT LEAST 1 Amp ON THE 3kV SIDE! The neon sign
manufacturer's use them to step the 240 back up to 2 or 3 kV at 1 Amp to
burn the gasses out of the glass walls of tubes that they use to make neon
signs with. They run them at ~1 Amp for 24 hours and the tubes are almost
white hot.

Would that damage the transformer? (how many amps are those?)
