RE: [TCML] New high voltage source for VTTC

[Liviu Vasiliu <teslina@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanx for the reply James.

My problem is the limited number of xfrms (they are hard to get too), so I decided to not modify them and use them as they are, so I would need more than two MOTs, to get a semnificative power output. After some calculations, I will add two more MOTs on my schema.
I know it is a bit more complicated and ...expensive, but didnt want to heat up the weaker MOTs in the chain with circulating currents.
