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.
