RE: [TCML] MOT stacks

["Steve" <youngster@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not necessary at all--your ballpark approach is fine.  The ones in series
can be very mismatched.  I ran 6 in series--all different.  Just try to
match the parallel MOT combinations within 50 volts or so.  

Do you really need to parallel your MOTs?  A typical 1 KVA 2 KV MOT
secondary is good for half an amp for short runs, 1/4 - 1/3 amp for long
runs.
6 MOTs in series can easily output 4 to 6 KVA.

Subject: [TCML] MOT stacks

Hello all and Merry Christmas, 


How necessary is it that MOTs be of exactly the same type when stacking them
in a MOT stack. I am planning on putting 2 in series and 2 series pairs in
parallel. Or 3 in series and 2 sets of 3 in parallel. I have plenty of mots,
but they are a hodge podge mess of them, only 2 of which are exactly the
same. Should I just ball park it and try to make each mot somewhat symmetric
to each of its paralleled counterparts? 



Thanks, 
John "Jay" Howson IV
