 Hi all
 I have just picked up a number of rheostats for next to no money and I
 was wondering
 if any of these or combinations of them may be usued to limit the
 current in to the
 pole pig Dr B and myself have just got our hands on(15 KVA)
 
 The Rheostats have the following values:-
 
      Amps     Ohms     Qty
      2.8      160      1
      10       4.5      1
      3        24       1
      4        8.5      2
      5        6.5      1
      3.3      14       2
      3.3      28.5     3
      5        15       1
 
 Any thoughts or comments on this little lot will be very helpful.
 
 Cheers Mike Tucknott
