Re: [TCML] MOTS

[G Hunter <dogbrain_39560@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you wish to run two MOTs for about 4200VAC, then place the secondaries in series with both cores grounded.  Take the HV output from both MOT HV output lugs.  If you want to use 120VAC input, place your primaries in parallel, but 180 out-of-phase.  If you wish to use 240vac, then place your primaries in series.  Assuming the two MOTs are reasonably well matched, they will divide the 240vac between them so each primary only sees 120vac.  Again, make sure the primaries are oppositely phased.

A US military .30 caliber (7.62mm NATO) steel ammo can makes a sturdy, cheap, oil-tight container.  Pawn shops, Army surplus shops, and flea markets have zillions of them.  Two MOTs will just fit in there, so you won't need too much oil.  Worked well for me anyway:
