Subject: mot transformer ballasting

Hello,
    I am new to coiling and I was thinking of using four mots in series to
drive my coil. A friend of mine told me this would need to be under oil and
current limited. I want to go with an inductive ballast and am operating on
a 15 amp circuit. Any information about how to construct the ballast or what
kind of oil to use would be appreciated.
