Question regarding NST Phasing . . .

Little confused over the phasing regarding NSTs (after reading the pupman
NST PHASE FAQ)


Common sense dictates that the transformers should be wired in parallel in
identical phase with respect to each other.  Voltage will be the same, but
current will be double.

Would the following method be correct in determining phase???

1.  Connect both NST's to line voltage.

2.  Ground both NST Center-Taps and Chassis to AC Ground.

This is where I get confused:

Do I now connect only ONE high voltage wire to one end of one transformer
and then touch to the opposite ends of each NST high voltage output to
determine phase?  I guess the one end of the
second NST that produces minimal arc (IN PHASE) is the one i should be
paralleling with the high voltage wire output leg i have.
