John,
The MOT I used in my tester (<http://tester.gs35b.com>) has welds across
the laminations in four different locations. The transformer gets pretty
hot with no load (shunts removed). Fortunately, my duty cycle on the
tester is very low so it really doesn't matter for this application. The
four lines of weld is why I asked the question.
