Sounds interesting, I have 4 mots too. I'd be interested to know how you 
joined them together. I am limiting the power of mine to 1000VA (well 
roughly), 6000VA sounds a bit too dangerous for me :-). I get a fuzzy noise 
when the output is open circuit, someone suggested to me that the insulation 
might be about to breakdown. How do yours sound. I haven't used mine with a 
coil properly yet.
