    Congratulations, your 6 MOT's in series sounds like a real success.
That's 8.1 KVA of power, very impressive...  I'm curious though, did you put
all 6 MOT's in oil to prevent arcing between the HV leads?  If not, how do
you keep all the wires separated safely to prevent arcing between the
transformers and themselves?  Lastly, how much current do you estimate is
being drawn from your house mains if you haven't already measured it?
    I just happen to be working on the same project as you are right now so
any information would be very helpful to me.
Sincerely,
