Re: [TCML] Series/parallel potential transformers

[Futuret <futuret@xxxxxxx>]

If this is to run a spark gap Tesla coil you may want to put
the HV windings in series also to get 12kV since coils
tend to be a little more efficient at the higher voltages.
I realize there might be other limitations however, for 
example your capacitor may be rated at too low of a
voltage for that.
