[TCML] Recent variac problem.



Hi All

Recently I've been running my coil controlled by a 10amp variac. I'm running two parallels 12/30 franceformer neons sign transformers and have been running this way for several years but as of late I keep blowing fuses on the variac about every 4th run. I'm not sure if or what has weakened over time. I would like to run my coil with a much larger power supply but that obviously won't go over well with my 10amp variac and I certainly don't want to move forward until I know the weakest point. Any suggestions? Also if I do go with a larger supply I'm thinking of 4 12/30's in parallel but don't know what to do for current limiting. Larger variac? Something else? Thanks for any advice.
