Hi everyone,
I'm usually just a "lurker" here, trying to pick up some tips here and
there, but all this talk about mots has piqued my interest. So, if I may,
just a couple comments and questions...
First, can anyone recommend a site where I could see some schematics for
putting mots in series? I'm more of a visual learner, so with the schematics
I could pick up on easier than explanations.
Here's what I've tried in the past, but the output didn't really seem to
double as hoped. Using 3 mots at 110 vac, the first I used as a current
limiter, while the next 2 are in series with the output of the first
connected to the core of the second. I don't have a way of metering the
output, but based upon the arc I was drawing, it didn't seem to be any
improvement. BTW, current is limited to about 15 amps. Yeah, I know, like
Tim the Tool Man would say, "More power!", but what kind of results can I
hope to expect with 110v limited at 15 amps? I could probably bump that up
to close to 20 amps, but that's about it.
Well, thanks in advance for your help and suggestions,
Neal.

Greetings Greg et al
Thanks for the note and appreciate the limitations re time and options to
respond.
If I have it correctly The core of the outer MOT will be at the potential of
the 2400 volt rms connection to the first MOT. This will place all the
voltage stress between that core and the 230v primary winding.
