Hi John,

I guess I need some clarification on something.

By all the previous posts I've read, NSTs are current limited to their
nameplate spec. That is, a 60mA NST will do 60 mA into a dead short. How is
the limiting accomplished: inductive or resistive?

I would believe that higher voltages could be produced, which in turn might
constitute higer VA outputs for the same (limited) current. It would seem
that you are suggesting tht these higher induced voltages will push
proportionally more current through the sec, when the voltages are actually
an effect of the nominal currents...

Could someone help enlighten me here?>
