Last time I build a brick OLTC, I had (at least) 4 x 1.2Kw 400v Transorb
TVS in series parallel across D &S and a fast diode into a bundle of
0.47uF caps (I think I nicked this idea from Steve Connor, but I can't
find a reference to it on his site.)
It is well worth a look at http://scopeboy.com/tesla/t4proposal.html
as his OLTC was one of the biggest ever built (at the time) and very
well documented.
Or take a look at my smaller brick OLTC
