Re: MOT stack wiring?

My site http://home.att.net/~gbward4 tells you how to do that.  Look 
under the "articles" tab and then "Building/Testing an MOT 
stack."  It tells all about phasing and connecting them together, and 
I attempt to give an easy way to work it out.  I hope it gives more 
of a "how it works" than a "do this" approach.

Here's some tips:
You will HAAAVE to put that stack under oil, otherwise you will drive 
yourself crazy with arc-overs.  I had problems even with my 6 stack 
for a while.

You'll need to float the cores.  Otherwise the secondaries will arc 
to the core.  But just don't touch them while they're energized.  I 
hope I didn't have to tell you that ;).

I don't know what you're building it for, but personally, I set out 
for an 8-stack and decided it was way more trouble than it was 
worth.  I had plenty of power with a 6-stack.

Hope that helps?
