I would not for very long to bad you do not have enough of the same 15/30 or 15/60. the two primaries in series is fine also. You draw the same power but less amps because the voltage has doubled. for power lines at high voltage means less big copper wires less amps same power.

Well the list has been quiet lately, so I will break the silence!
I finally got my second TC up and running and getting some decent sparks. I
still need to do quite a bit of optimizing, but seeing 4 foot sparks,
smelling ozone, and hearing the crackle is a welcome change in my garage.

Right now the coil is running on a 15/60 and a 15/30 NSTs in parallel. I
have anther 15/30 that I want to add to the mix, but I am concerned about
amp draw. My needle is swinging past 20amps now (breaker did not trip), but
20a is a lot for a standard outlet. I need some PFC caps. Where is the best
place to get them?
I do have 240VAC in my garage, and I also seem to recall on old post by
Richard Quick stating you could run NST's from 240VAC if you put their
primaries in series. I am guessing this is great if you have two identical
NSTs. I wonder if it is possible to do this in a series/parallel gang for
my 15/60 and 15/30's (where it is 60ma on each hot side)?
Thanks,
