hi tim
        the mot setup i had was 2 1800w mots with capacitive ballast and
voltage doubling running 2kva i had 4' 3" output with a 66nf cap running
400bps srsg
this would have been a lot more with a bigger cap the secondary was 4" x 21"
with .56mm wire
i am about to build a mot supply so this can be portable for teslathons then
use my pig for home
cheers
colin heath
