Hi Tim
I've run 6 MOTs with a 300bps SRSG
*  The MOTS are run in a phased array of 3 per side.(primaries in //)
*  Outer MOTs (4 off) are selected for good core to secondary clearance
*  Each Outer MOTs is in 6" PVC plumbing fixtures to make a small tank.
*   The Tank is filled with good xfrmr oil
*  The Tesla has standard LP L/C filtering on it's I/P to keep the RF
away(500pf./10mH)
*  The MOTs are 230v and run at 230v
*  I get about 13kvrms (6.5kv per side)
*  The outer 4 MOTs have not died from core to sec insulation failure
*  Others on the net have reported achieving similar systems
*   PFC is essential
*   Inductive ballasting is used to limit I I/P to approx 20A RMS
*   This thing is deadly, care reqd

Best
Ted L in NZ
