[TCML] Re: Linear variac



Hello, be careful! This is NOT a variac for regulating 0-480 volts/300 A; it's only a voltage stabilizer, which stabilizes the output to 480 Volts, if the input Voltage change !! Look at the thin windings of the variable transformer in the photo; they are never designed for 300 A. The variac in the photo is only one part of the whole unit.

Hello all,

I have this massive linear variac I'd like to see off to a new home that
can use it to it's full potential.  I've been trying to scrap stuff to help
raise funds for my son's trip to South Korea this summer.  And honestly
it's on the chopping block next with all the various transformers I have
(nothing anyone would be interested in, it's old transmitter stuff). It's
located in Bremen, GA.  And I can help load it into the bed of a pickup
truck with my tractor.  I have no idea how to price it, but I do know that
copper is bringing $3 a pound and this unit weighs at least 1K lbs.  I
would not expect that much for it though.  Just trying to raise funds for
my son's trip honestly.  And would rather see someone use this instead.

Thanks,
Andrew
