[Boatanchors] Parallel Operation of HV Power Upplies

[Carl]

Voltage and current will soar in the unloaded state to values exceeding 
the transformer rating. Its all explained in the handbooks and probably 
many magazine articles.

866's would likely short first and SS diodes would just sit there fat, 
dumb, and happy until the meltdown.
