Hey everybody,
     A simple theoretical question, if you put a current limited 
transformers output in series with a non-current limited transformer, is the 
current still limited to that of the limited transformer, or does the other 
transformer suck the life out of the current limited one.  Thanks.
Scott Bogard."

	Hard to answer but if current is flowing through both transformers then it will be flowing through the leakage reactance of the current limited one and thus increasing the voltage drop across it.  In the  extreme increased voltage leads to core saturation possibilities or insulation failure.  "It's all in the gory details!"
