Re: [TCML] Variac Ratings?



Not without some effort. It is against the wall with a lot of clutter in front of it. The beast weighs a LOT.
I'll try and get to it as soon as I can.

It seems that this form factor might have multiple ratings dependent on the windings.I was convinced that mine was identical to kens, but now I'm not so sure. 
The 30A rating makes sense for mine, which appears to have #10 wire.
Yurtle turtle, Could you possibly verify your wire gauge and # of turns? Mine has 300 turns.

My label is partially covered by the motor parts, but mine is a GE Voltpac, and if I recall, mine's 540 volts, and maybe 30 amps each.I'll have to move some stuff around in the garage to get close enough to read it, but I'll try this weekend. If it's not too hard, I may remove the parts so I can get a pic of the label.      From: Eric Urban  To: Tesla Coil Mailing List  Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2017 8:44 AM Subject: Re: [TCML] Variac Ratings?  At one point or another I owned about I think four variacs like that.Numerous other list members bought some at the same time, forsomething like $1 each.
