I have to agree with KEN on this one!

MOT's DON'T saturate at 120VAC...it wouldn't make sense if they did. 
Personally, I've done tests to 160 VAC on a 120 VAC rated MOT, and that was 
the absolute max I could push the transformer before I started hearing a 
loud buzz...peak output voltage/ current began to drop off like crazy. Now 
that was a classic case of saturation. This did not happen at 120 VAC or 140 
VAC...I can assure you.
