The link to the overload graph seems to have gotten lost in the either...

Here it is again:

Nate/all,
Staco Variable Transformers are designed for intermittent short duration
overloads. Luckily for us that means we can pull 250% for 10-minutes with a
30-min cool down. Check out the description and link taken from their web
page. 
CURRENT RATING TERMINOLOGY: To permit maximum utilization of STACO Variable
Transformers, output ratings are given for both constant current and
constant impedance loads. All current ratings are based on continuous use
at ambient temperatures to 122 F (50 C.  Short duration overloads to 10
times transformer rating are possible.  See graph for acceptable limits.
Regards,
Brian B.

 For the final configuration, I am only squeezing an additional 176.25 W out
 of my variac.  I have been advised that I should be able to fuse it at 10
 amps for short runs.  Having read your reply I think I will change my fuse
 rating to 3 amps (435 W) on configuration 2, and 5 amps (725W) for
 configuration 4.
 
  Thanks,
