Hi Terry,

Do you rectify your MOT and store energy in DC storage caps that feed 
a charging choke and Cp?? Or is the Cp the only DC storage.  It looks 
like your BPS is around 280 if I count correctly.  The chaotic nature 
is probably due to the same reason as what happens to a standard 
SG.  Total voltage is sum of transient and steady state 
response.  Maybe you need to have a larger Cp to lower the BPS to 
around 120 :-))
