140VAC - Motorized Variac 0-NOT!! 280V 15A

Hi All,

As it turns out, the varaics are really 140VAC not 240VAC!!!

Superior Electric assumes a three phase neutral center "Y" 
configuration.  Unless you get another part number when they label it 140 
"delta"...  I just made the mistake of reading the label >:-p

So, when working with the three phase units "be very careful"!!!  The price 
is now $50 for the darn thing...  A few folks are already interested but 
they might no longer be now that the voltage is really 140 VAC.  Apparently 
the current is still correct.

I have a bunch of variacs I am cleaning up to sell soon once I figure out 
what the "really" are :[

Cheers,

        Terry
