I am building my power control center for my big coil. I am
paralleling three Staco variacs, rated at 30A, 520V each. I built 2
paralleling chokes. Do I attach the wipers of 2 of the variacs to
the outside terminals of one choke (3rd wire is a centertap of this
coil), this now being the output of this pair? Then attach this
tapped output to one of the outside legs of choke #2, and the other
outside leg to the wiper of the 3rd variac? then the centertap of
choke 2 is the main output of the 3 vriacs. Long and a little
confusing, I know! Hope this is clear, and I'm ok with this. In
particular Bart ( or Bert?) and Scott D. have discussed this in
detail some years back on this list, but I can't seem to find wiring
diagrams for 3 variacs. As always I look foreward to your replies.
