I recently bought a new variac to power my 15kv 30ma NST.  I have
never wired one before and do not want to fry this one.  It is a
Technipower 120v-8.5A 60 HZ (W5L) .  It has 3 terminals listed as 2,
3, and 4.  There is a diagram showing 2 at the biginng of the coil
and 3 bing the center tap with 4 the other end of the coil. Am i
correct to connect the input to 2 and 4, and the output to 2 and
3?   Seems simple, but i don't want to fry this considering how
pricey they are now a days.

Any help is greatly appreciated

-Matt

Yep that's how you would wire it. If you're not shure if the output is terminal
2 and 3 or 3 and 4 conect a small 120V (or 240V) lamp to the suposed output and
test it.
