In fact, internal to many transformers are parallels Wouldnt you have to find matched transformers (close in real voltage)? What if the voltages are slightly different? (ie: there may be variations in voltages of 12.6 V transformers) Wouldn't one act as a sink and heat up if the voltages arent matched? What is a good rule of thumb for the max diff in volts? Where is Theremagoochymin's rule when you need it?
