Jason,

No.

The rating of the variac depends on much more than just the "bruch" (I
assume that you meant brush).

Hi all,

I have a 10A variac and I have a 20A variac bruch that I picked up off a
friend. Provided that it physically fits in the old variac, does this mean
that I will be able to overrate the variac by more than usual??

thanks
Jason
