Hi,

I hooked my NST:s up in paralell with the secondarys shorted using
the primaries as ballasts for my larger HV transformer later on.
Its one 450VA and a 600VA NST. They are supposed to be shorted on the
output right ?

I tried to mesure the current of each one before i hooked them up but
got strange reading that jumped all over the place.. hmm.
They both work to spec. so mayby my dmm is wierd.. (yes i mesured the
primary side and had it hooked up to A and COM)

Here is a pic.
The black mains wires comes from the same source.
The wireing will be better arranged later, want to test if it works
first. :)

Sounds like you were trying to measure AC on a DC setting. What meter do you have, what setting was it on, and how exactly did you connect it.

Can't tell anything from the pic, is there a wiring legend on the unit? Need more information.
