Yes a factory MOT is high V / low A. That is why you have to cut out the secondary and rewire with 4awg or better to convert to Low V/ High A

Now, you can also make an electromagnet with MOTs. Parrell a couple of MOTs and you hold down some metal (great for face milling metal on a milling machine). I grab every microwave I see on the side of the road.
