Re: [TCML] saturable reactors

	If I were going to try the "multi-MOT" approach I'd sure put some voltage limiting across the control windings, maybe   an MOV for 115 volts or something, to prevent accidental electrocution!!!!!  Mighty dangerous otherwise.

	If done correctly the approach will work but unless the transformers are identical there will probably be some AC in the control circuit.

"Another MOT-based approach would be to cut away the
low-voltage windings of the MOT and create two new
ones on the outer legs, thus permitting a single MOT
to be used as a small saturable reactor.

The multi-MOT approach avoids modifying the MOTs at
all, but requires care in selecting them.

Parallel = more power, series = less.
