Re: [TCML] Jacob's Ladder

Won't work. The MOT will drag the NST's voltage down since it is higher  
current (lower Z) and has less current regulation. Paralleled trannys should be  
the same type and rating and be connected in phase.

hey all, i just  wanted to ask if it is possible to create a jacob's ladder 
circuit with a NST  and MOT in parallel, the NST to supply the HV for improved 
arc initiation, and  the MOT for increased amperage for larger, more sustained 
arcs. will the NST  secondary simply fry or will it's shunting and inductance 
protect it? and what  about the secondary insulation for the MOT? am i also 
right to assume that the  current *should* flow through the arc and not the MOT 
secondary (thus sparing  it's insulation) cos of the secondary's  inductance?

thanks,
jeremy
