Hi Matt,
You can parallel a 15kV NST with 12kV NST's to increase power a bit
more. However, it will not be as efficient as using all 12kV or all 15kV
NST's. Unlike plate transformers or distribution transformers, the
built-in current limiting design of the NST's allows them to be safely
connected in parallel. Determining the proper phasing between the 15kV
and the others may be a bit trickier because of the voltage difference.

Gmail has been confounding me lately so I cannot find the specific e-mail.
Someone suggested running my 12k,12k,15k NSTs in parallel. My basic
knowledge of electronics would suggest the voltage differential to be a
problem in this configuration.
Is it possible to set these up in parallel with no problem, or can I do so
using some other circuitry?

Mat Sweeney
