Re: ~Variac question

Hi Jaime,

15000 volts x 60m amps = 900 watts = 0.9 KVA = 900 VA

If you can get them used, ebay, junk yard...  You save the cost of about $200
for a brand new one.  There are some asian versions sold by Jameco and I think
Radio Shack for about $100 now.

I checked and Radio Shack's is about $200....

Jameco's catalog has #169658  2000VA for $119.95 (before shipping the 30
pounds).  I had a different version of the "cheap ones" and it worked fine. 
Not as good or would last as long as my Powerstats, but they do work.

Check around and maybe ask the list for them.  I just gave away twelve 20 amp
240 VAC variacs for free cause I got tired of looking at them ;-))

Cheers,

        Terry
