I've gotten zero response in a week, I'll try asking one more time...


Xfrmr Folks,
            seems to me there are two ways to decrease the shunt-age in an
NST.  1) remove something so that the shunts have a smaller cross section but
still bridge completely across, 2) remove something so that there is an air-
gap to the shunts but they still have their original cross section.

Which is prefered and why.


Thanks,
-Peter Lawrence.


(another Q, has anyone ever tryed to "increase" the shuntage in a MOT to
lower the current and make it usable with a static gap?)
