RE: help limiting mots

Hello

Ballast with two 120 volt mots. If this drops the current too much, then
parallel two more mots with the first pair. The inductance will drop and the
current will rise. Adding more mot pairs in this fashion will continue to
increase the current. Of course this means looking for more mots---never an
easy way out.
