Well I got four of them connected.

Connected all the neutrals together, put 2 transformers on each 110 phase of
the 220.

Took the 2 inside transformers with the secondary connected to the core, and
connected the other leg to the next transformers secondary.

Cores werent grounded to anything.

With the HV leads unshorted, one input leg drew 12A and the other drew 8A,
shorted one drew 40A and the other one still drew 8A?????

How can I figure out the output volts/amps?
