Hi Adam,

The "key" here is that the NSTs are "center tapped to ground".  The center two
legs would be shorted out if you put them in series.  You would get +-7500VAC
on the ends but the centers would be at 0VAC.  Draw it out, it don't work ;-))

Paralleling them for twice the current does work :-)))

Cheers,

        Terry
