All of the Variacs that I have used have two input terminals / taps:=20 one gives you zero to full input voltage; the other input tap gives=20 you zero to about 115% of input voltage. That is: 115Vac input, zero=20 to 140Vac output. Its easy to open up the Variac case and change taps if needed. dwayne --=20 Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax www.trinity-electronics.com Custom Electronics Design and Manufacturing --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
