Original poster: "Scott Bogard" <teslas-intern@xxxxxxxxxxx> Jim,I am not an NST person, but I have used loads of OBITs in parallel, which are pretty much the same thing, except a little less robust. If you are getting no power, I might suggest one of your wires is hooked up incorrectly, causing them to fight each other. The primaries, and secondaries should be in parallel for current limited transformers (like NSTs or OBITs). However, you said something about an "auto reset", this suggests to me, that these are solid state transformers, as to the best of my knowledge (I very well could be wrong), conventional NSTs contain no reset, as there is nothing inside to reset (just a core, and three windings). If they are the old fashioned kind, the case will be metal, and a Jacobs ladder from one of them will make a very low "buzzzzzzz, buzzzzzzz. If they are solid state, you will either hear no noise or just a high pitch squeal or hiss. You may still be able to parallel them if they are solid state, but I wouldn't know anything about that (and I don't think they could be used for a TC, unless you rectified the output and made a DC coil, but I wouldn't know much about that either). Whatever it is don't bypass anything until someone more experienced tells you too. Oh, I forgot to mention, if the units are old, one of them may have a half short, which would cause both to appear to not work (this has happened to me before), but if they are new, this is unlikely (but not impossible). I hope this helps.

Would it be wise to bypass the auto reset on these things? The cat# is 9030 PG but franceformer has no data on them on their website.Thanks, Jim
