As it gets closer to your house it goes to a sub station where the voltage is lowered and then sent on its way. It finally arrives in your neighborhood and is sent to a transformer where the voltage is lowered to 220 volts. This is what comes into your house and goes to the circuit breaker box. The next section describes a bit of technical mumbo jumbo about sine waves and phase relationships.
By means of some fast talking and a $175 withdrawal from the treasury of Lord British, a 14,400-volt, 5,000-watt power-pole transformer was procured from the City of Austin's electric utility. This transformer, driving a rotary spark gap, provided excitation to the Tesla coil's primary resonant circuit. Normally used as a step-down transformer for power distribution purposes, the power-pole transformer was wired backward to step the 110- or 220-volt line voltage up to 14.4KV.
