[TCML] mot questions

[neal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all, I've been "lurking" for quite a while on the list, but I'd like to ask a
couple questions now re: the use of mots.

Let's assume I'm ballasting a mot with a mot. If both are equally rated (1kw),
what would be the (approximate) maximum amp draw I should see? We're talking
U.S., 110v,60hz.

I don't know if this is feasible or if it's been tried, but rather than short
the ballast's high side directly, what if it were run through a dimmer switch?
Would that work to give some leeway on the output current?

On the transformer mot, what should be done with the few windings that are used
for mw controls (or whatever they're used for)? Short them out, pull them out,
leave open...? On the ballast mot I'm assuming that these should be shorted,
also. If not, please let me know.

Thank you all in advance for your help with these questions.

Neal.
