Richard,
I second Jim's welcoming you to the list. You do have a reputation.
I use 6000 watts of oven elements in parallel with my inductive ballast
(welder). Does this resistance work as well in parallel as it does in series
with the ballast? I don't think I have experienced this bumping but I have
only ran my 5 KVA transformer up to about 8.5 KVA.
