They had the same " voltage " input/output and the big tranny was professionally wound... i spent months trying to figure out why it would blow up. Even with brand new PJ gear it would last tops a day... To cut a very long and painful story short, i ended up (under advice sort of) putting 10 .1 ohm resistors ( so .01 ohm total resistance ) in series with the primary. .. that thing has seen over 11.5 kw for over half an hour without missing a beat..😎Edited by noneyabussiness 2017-10-24
