[TCML] Help to verify connections of ballast

[Andreas H <andreasho@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I hooked my NST:s up in paralell with the secondarys shorted using the primaries as ballasts for my larger HV transformer later on.
Its one 450VA and a 600VA NST. They are supposed to be shorted on the output right ?

I tried to mesure the current of each one before i hooked them up but got strange reading that jumped all over the place.. hmm.
They both work to spec. so mayby my dmm is wierd.. (yes i mesured the primary side and had it hooked up to A and COM)

Here is a pic.
The black mains wires comes from the same source.
The wireing will be better arranged later, want to test if it works first. :)
