Actually, to heat the core of the nst so that it will release easily, leave
the
secondaries open. Shorting the secondary will max its current but since its
current is limited by its leakage, will run coolest. In service,
underloading a
nst, and open secondaries is the maximum underload, is the fastest way to burn
one up, (with the possible exception of putting it into Tesla Coil duty). But
20 to 30 minutes of open secondaries will cause them to warmup enough to
provide easy release without cuasing any damage.

My .02 worth,
Daniel
