Hi Andrew,Ted a fellow NZ coiler in Wgtn

Good luck with your MOT design, I've been using MOT's up to 6 MOT's (3 per 
side) and have great success.

With MOT's in oil I do not think the Terry Filter is needed personally 
especially with DC designs

I've embraced DC designs with MOT's as the way to go to get more voltage 
from the inherently low voltages of MOT stacks, the lack of resonance and 
surging is nice and input power control by selecting break rate is very 
useful too, (current design needs no variac to ramp it up)

MOT secondaries with a small gap in their EI (0.3mm) make great inductors 
for DC PSU and the ring up inductor and can be arrayed to any overall size 
required

Overkill with IN5408's is cheaper and easier than balancing resistors/caps

Feel free  to call me if in Wgtn Ph 04 938 6638
