Re: [TCML] Giant Variac For Sale

["Teslalabor" <teslalabor@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay! I was little bit confused because of the additional "large 
transformer" you mentioned. What I was talking about, are units similar to 
yours, used for automatic "voltage stabilisation". They automatically adjust 
line voltage within a range of +/- some percent. These units consist of 
small variacs + big transformer, which takes the load.
But anyway, you should check the namplate carefully. It says INPUT is 
166-229 Volts and OUTPUT is fixed at 208 / 120 Volts.
So this means, this unit can NOT regulate Voltage between 0 - 208 Volts! Is 
stabilizes the Output Voltage @ 208 Volts, whereas Input voltage can be 
anything between 166-229 Volts.
So this is not a 75kVA Variac Mr. Boden...
