Re: [TCML] Paralleling 15/30 15/60 NSTs



I've done it with 12kv nst's and I don't think it was an issue. They eventually burned out but I think that was due to poor circuit design (not accounting for standoff voltage).

I presume that in theory as long as the output voltage is the same I should have no problem paralleling 2 NSTs with different current ratings.

But theory is not reality. And I still have an old 15/30 NST which I swapped out when I got my 15/60. So I'm staring at it wanting to try the experiment of paralleling it with its bigger brother. But then I think- there has to be a problem in this somewhere. Like when you have the variac at less than full power if the 2 Vin/Vout curves are different.

What kind of chaos could I cause by doing this (presuming I phased them correctly)??
