Hello J.,

How did you wire the primaries?

I have a 7.5KVA dry type distribution transformer 480x240 on the primary,
240x120 secondary.  If I fed the secondary with 240, I could wire 2 MOTs
with primaries in series on each primary winding.  Would I even have to put
the MOTs under oil?

So I have switched back to MOT's again. The insulation on MOT's can
withstand 2.5X the secondary output, as far as I can tell. I have linked 4
(LARGE kW) MOT's in series to produce 16 KVAC RMS -at- **HUGE CURRENT** and is
drawing 5-6 kW, and so far its working well under transformer oil.
