Re: 4KV NST

Chris,
The only practical way to run them in series is to make a 120 to 120 volt
isolation transformer with enough insulation between the windings and core
to withstand the peak voltage of half of one of your transformers (about 3
KV, but double it for some margin).  Then you run one of your transformers
off the isolation transformer, and put it in series with one leg of the
other transformer.  The non-isolated transformer centertap will be your
ground point, with 2 KV RMS on one leg, and 6 KV RMS on the composite other
leg.

Probably you can get higher voltage NSTs cheaper than building an isolation
transformer.
