To achieve a 15/60 configuration from 2 15/30 NSTs they would have to be
connected in parallel. Always remember, connecting any power supplies in
parallel will add the current of the two transformers, while the voltage stays
the same, thus two 15/30's in parallel would make 15/60. In series, the voltage
adds up. So if you had two 15/30's in series, it would become a 30/30.
Series/parallel configurations change with other components as well. In
capacitors, if the capacitors are parallel then the capacitance adds up. If
they are in series, then the voltage adds up. BTW to check if a bleeder
resistor is still working properly, all one must do is check it with a
resistance meter, which is built in to every multitester I know of. Just set
the range (unless it is autoranging) and check it to see if it resists enough.
If it shows no continuity, or no resistance, than the resistor is bad and
should be replaced immediately.

Hi All, How does one go about checking a bleeder resistor to see if it is
still working properly?
I am still putting my TC together and I do have "bleeders" attached to all
my "caps". I am
building a "TC" according to the pictures and specs of Terry's web site. I
'm using 2- 15/30 nst's
in "series???" to get 15/60.
A question that has been on my mind lately is this- I am wondering what
size PVC pipe to use for
my secoundary to obtain the best performance? I have my wire, which is 27
gauge "I think" and I am
in the process of making a winding jig.
