Aric, except for some industrial mirowave transformers they have built in
magnetic shuts so ballasts are not necessary. To set up two microwave
transformers for 220 service you would have to put both the primaries and
the secodaries in series. You will also have to first remove the connection
from one side of the secodary to the core other wise you will be left with
a hot core (not safe).
