Has anyone ever used a variable resistor in place of a variac on your
coils? I have been having a problem because of blown fuses. My variac
is rated at 120V, 7.5A. My transformer runs at ups that to 15000V,
60mA, so when I have the variac at 100V, the transformer tries to draw
9A and blows the 8A fuse in the variac. I thought I could use a
variable resistor in it's place. I understand that this will vary
power and wondered what type of effects I will see as opposed to the
with the variac.
