hello all :-)
sorry for my bad english first (at present and in future) - i am
russian - siberian bear :-)

class 220 mean 2200v secondary, class 200 mean 2000v secondary - this
is NOT that "class" what we (i and Grishka) was asking about :-P
we ask about "thermal" class, NOT voltage, and on my mot there is NO
any "class" writings at all as you can see:

i had conducted some measurements of primary current vs primary
voltage on my mot - it`s seems that this piece of s*** can`t be used
with more than 180v on primary side:

and i had measured total loss (iron+copper) with no load:
170v - 25w
215v - 50w
225v - 70w

my mot rated on 220v :-\

Your not coiling unless your blowing capacitors! Then when you get things 
worked
out to where the capacitors stop blowing, you start blowing transformers.
