Tab ....
the lite dimmer idea is sorta okay IF your primary supply is rated for
240 V -at- less than 2.8 amps... if it draws more than that you will fry
the dimmer ...
heres an idea ... any local colleges around ? check the chemistry dept
or the electronic dept for out dated equipment let them know you are "
doing some work" on resonant transformers and that a variac "would
greatly increase " your opportunities to proceed with your endevours.
this has potential ......
