	I imagine, (although I'm not positive) that if you connected two MOT's in
parallel, effectively doubling the power handling capacity, that it would
limit the pig less.  For example, 1 3kva MOT would limit the pig to 3 kva,
and two MOTS in parallel would limit it to six.  Any number of MOTs could
be arranged in series/parallel arrangements to get different values.  A
very rough sort of variac, I suppose.
