RE: 10KVA saturable reactors on eBay! (New, cheap & heavy!)

The item is 7573657637.

They look remarkably like three-phase transformers.

The center winding is labelled "DC", so that's
obviously the control.  You will note, however, that
the center leg of the core is also much thicker than
the outer legs, not the same as a three-phase
transformer.
