I haven't looked at SOLA in a long time - but what are you trying to 
accomplish - the SOLA constant voltage transformers that I was familiar with

have no protection circuitry, nor do they provide isolation, and they 
produce a lot of heat - they use a saturable core to maintain a near 
constant voltage for equipment that is sensitive to brownout conditions - 
they were found with a lot of 1960s computer stuff.  The older ones at least

significantly distorted the sine wave, which wasn't much of a problem for 
stuff of that vintage, but it can be problematic with some newer equipment

Are you trying to correct for a voltage droop?  (If yes, contact me off the 
list and I can give you the name of a guy that I sold a 16 amp sola-like 
(may have been real sola) unit to a while ago - he may be willing to sell it

to you - but it's pretty heavy - in the 100 to 200 pound range - it came out

of a doctor's office that had been using an Altair computer - that will date

it
