if you pull the shunts on your MOT's, you turn your MOT psu into a "pole 
mounted transformer" of sorts.

ie. draw EVERY last amp out of the sockets in your house to black out 
without ballast.

The voltage will rise slightly too  (an extra 100-150VAC on some models). I 
would use an arc welder/ adjustable ballast or HUGE variac or "what have 
you" to ballast the whole series of transformers.

....I have done some work in this area for a friend of mine. The supply my 
friend uses is a 6 pack with no shunts/no filiment windings. The arc weldier 
is usually on 3/4 power, or 9-10kW....output in volts is well above 14.4 kV 
(more likely 15 kV on short).

...with shunts in, the transformers will get warmer, quicker. But both 
supplies work extremely well...with shunts in or out.
