The longer the arc, the bigger the power draw! Thats a rule I go by!

My new MOT's are both from the same model "Kenmore" (sears) Microwave which 
draws 1400W and outputs only 625W (magnetron). These MOT's are HUGE!! And 
they both are running 0.97 uF CAPS with built in diodes. I have no idea what 
the output current is on them!

I suspect they output in the 600 mA range...but its just a guess** anyone 
actually know??? I wonder if the rating of the cap has something to do with 
the output power of the MOT???

The MOT's are running within 30.5 VAC of each other. Ones working nicely at 
1980.5 VAC, and the other is operating at 2010 VAC. They aid VERY well on 
120VAC, but haven't tried these big guys on 240VAC yet. I suspect they will 
hold up just fine as they have wide, and thick CORES!!

Anyone else try overvolting MOT's????
