Re: [TCML] How do they ballast BIG coils?

["Teslalabor" <teslalabor@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

How is it possible to limit current by the use of a variac? I mean, there is 
no air gap in the core or such things. Tried it several times in the past on 
my teslacoils to limit current with a normal variac and I never hat success 
with that.
