[TCML] Pole pig ballast



Hey all,
     I finally purchased a Pole pig, and I am investigating my 
ballasting options.  Currently I am running a 6-in secondary, and a sync 
gap with an 80nf cap.  Knowing this I planned on only allowing about 15 
amps of current, until I upgrade all of these other components (I chose 
15, because it will be roughly double the wattage I am using now (twice 
the voltage, same current,) and put my cap into the LTR size range for 
my system, which I assume to be ideal efficiency wise until I get a 
non-sync gap.)  I have a ton of MOTs (the old power supply) and was 
wondering if I could use a series parallel arrangement to get down to 15 
amps, and still handle the wattage.  I've also investigated welders but 
nobody I know has one they would be willing to lend me (gee, I wonder 
why?)  Anyhow, I know this subject has been discussed to death, but I 
just wanted some fresh input (given the potential lethality I'm dealing 
with here.)  Thanks.

Scott Bogard.
