<< Howdy all,
 
 I would like to get some feedback as to waht the case of
 variac should be attached to. These are the choices :
 
 1) RF ground (I seriously doubt this one)
 2) House current 'neutral'
 3) House current ground (The water pipes and such)
 
 thanks all,
 Bob

Bob,

I use a separate ground rod, about thirty feet from the main RF ground rods
for all my AC grounds.  I connect the variac cases and the AC line filter
grounds to this separate ground.
