Adam,

I feel reasonably sure that these are 120 volt variac units. I have
a couple that look a just like those that you have. The ones
that I have are 30 amp rated and it looks like yours may be, too,
judging by the size of the wire on them. But you said that these
are 42 lbs. total for the both of them?  That would seem a bit
light for 7.2 kVA worth of variac.?
