Hi Jeff

Yes this does work, following some discussions on the list a few years ago I 
tried this and was able to control a 2kW heater using TWO MOT's and about 
100v DC injected into the secondary's (wired is series opposing) there 
should be lots in the archive

Subject: [TCML] MOT xformer as a mag amp

Has anyone ever tried to use mot as a mag amp. Most mot tc's use an mot in 
series with the sec. Shorted for I  limiting the output mot xformer. What if 
you removed the secondary completely and wound , say 2 windings  of maybe 25 
turns each of 14guage wire. Connect them IN PHASE so there would never be 
any ac there. Here is where you could inject  variable low voltage dc to 
control the impedance (by saturating the core)  of the primary  to which is 
connected in series with the transformer you are driving for your high V. 
You can get up to 10:1 gain this way . Another words power of 1000watts 
could be controlled with 100 watts of dc saturating current
Just a thought, maybe an alternative way to   And control the output of the 
tc at the same time
