Re: SRSG phase control question

Hi Rob,
It matters on how much current your motor draws. In my case; I'm only using 
a small motor which draws 350ma so I just built a variable inductor with 
28AWG, works very well(don't recommend it, it's a pain in the A$$ to 
build). Personally I say at least rated for 150% of current of the current 
drawn(safety first!).
Cheers,
John
Others on the list correct me if I'm wrong.

I would like to know if it is possible to build a phase control circuit
like John Freau's without the 7 amp 140v variac- I would like to substitute
my wimpy little 3 amp 130v variac. For my SRSG of course. I am a little
strapped for cash right now! Oh and it's a 1/3 hp. motor.
Replies greatly appreciated.
