Don't feel bad I have some that act the same way! Most oil burner
transformers, just like neon sign transformers, can be connected in
parallel. I don't know why the occasional transformer won't work
connected in parallel. My daughter (she's 11) conjuctured that maybe
these transformers were wound backwards so that when you connect them
to a transformer wound in the right direction the current would be
opposing. Sounds good but if it were the case then swapping one
transformers leads should correct the problem but it dosen't.
