>From what I've been seeing they must have been residential units, the
industrial one see to require the external current limiting. You put
FOUR microwave transformers in series! I've been experimenting with 
such hook ups, did you add any insulation on those secondaries? On 
most that I've seen it didn't look like the secondaries would hold up 
too well at 10-KV. I assume you disconected the connection from the 
secondary to the core that most seem to have.

I don't think adding any inductance would make your Coil any more 
efficient, John. If you wanted to make it more effecient you would 
add some capacitance to make it resonate with the 60 cycle line and 
improve the power factor a tad.
