[TCML] MMC for 4 mot SRGTC

[bartb]

The MOT stack is 1050 VA per xfmr x 4 xfmrs = 4200 VA's total, not 16800 
(but 16800 would be the impedance in ohms). Were looking at about 35A 
continuous line current that will surge beyond 35A frequently (I 
recommend a 60A breaker). I also recommend ballasting, but at 7.5A per 
MOT for a total of 3600VA across the stack (900VA per MOT).

Take care,
Bart
