Hi Phillip,Sure, no problem. Clearance should still be maintained due to hv, but the shunt limiting will be the total of all shunts across the core. The current from primary to the secondaries (energy transfer) is through the core itself, not from coil to coil proximity. A single shunt across the core would suffice, as would an imbalance of shunts in various placement across the core. Symmetry is part of the mechanical design, but don't let that throw you electrically.
For example, if you removed one block of shunts on only one side of the primary, it is equivalent to removing 1/2 the shunts on each side (assuming the shunts stacks are identical on each side).
Take care, Bart Phillip Slawinski wrote:
Is it okay to have a somewhat uneven distribution of the current limiting shunts? Say I were to put 10 in the top two slots and only 6 in the bottom slots. I acquired a 12/60 Transco that I'm going to submerge in oil, and if I want to pull the current back a little I don't want to have to pull the core out. _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
