Re: series of transformers for high voltage?

   The question of "overvolting" transformers seems to come up so 
often that it almost seems worth while adding a note with every post 
which states that essentiall ALL power transformers saturate at 
around 120% of the rated primary voltage (even less with some newer 
core materials) and that applying more voltage than that will only 
result in smoke, not in more output voltage.  Should also be 
something about primary to secondary to core insulation, etc.
