RE: Last minute check before spendin' $$$
Hi Herwig, all!
That's something that I was thinking about..ganging them up in groups of 2
with common HV's and input. That way I can add more power in 60mA chunks.
2160 watts...cool. :) Now I just have to scheme up a wiring method to make
it fast and easy. Maybe a wiring block and just disconnect the un-needed
leads from the mains. I noticed you said the HV leads connected
permanently... will that cause a problem when running with the un-powered
nst's? Won't they steal power from the others? If so, I guess I'll have to
dream up some method of a HV bus.
Also everybody...I've seen the SG wired in parallel to the xformer, others
is series. which is better, or does it matter?
*sigh* The deadline of the 3rd draws near...will it be ready...stay tuned
for further details!
Caio!
Shad

Shad,
If you wanted to run-in your system with reduced power without
having a variac, you could wire your NSTs in groups: The HV-leads
of all NSTs are connected to the HV-bus permanently. The LV-
leads of e.g. 2 NSTs are connected, building group #1 and the LV-
leads of e.g. 4 NSTs are connected, building group #2. So you
could start with 2 NSTs and low power and add group #2 later = full
power.
I did this with banks of OBITs and it worked without any problem.
Safe coiling to you!
