Malcolm,

Yes, you're saying resonant charging does not magically
turn an NST into a non-shunted transformer, rather it still has a
definite, but perhaps higher limit depending on input voltages, etc.
That's a good point.  More comments in my response to
your other posting where I mention the effects of NST losses, 
other tests I need to still do, etc.

John Freau
