I would have preferred to see an output switch, i'm not in favour of setting the voltage then plugging/unplugging, it's what i built into my control cabinet Just a question, do you guys have single sockets ? seems that your transformers always have doubles, it's rarely the case you need to control 2 devices, unless using it as a high power lamp dimmer
We do have single sockets and the smaller ones tend to only have one. I do like the idea of a switched outlet. We actually have outlets in that form factor that have a switch at the top and outlet at the bottom. I could see what you're saying. That could be handy.
The only question I have about this, is with the outlets on the transformer. If the input is only 120v, why does it have outlets that appear to be able to accept 230v plugs.
sorry for the bother, but would this be able to power/handle 17amps worth of equipment for 8 to 10 hour spans? I see that it says 20a, and all my machines in my shop when running along with my other equipment (glass blowing shop) tend to drop the volts in the whole shop from the wall outlets pretty significantly. Once my volts drop to 107v from the wall outlet... the internal breakers in the oxygen concentrators flip turning them off. I have read that running compressors below something like a bare minimum of 108v can cause great wear on them even if they were not to turn off themselves. I was hoping to maintain at least 110 to 115v from the wall plug they are using (20amp breaker/wall outlets, short run from the subpanel). Would turning up the volts with this to that circuit/wall plugs end up lowering the volts on the others even more to make up for what I am trying to provide for whatever is hooked to this? This could be a godsend, as I may only need to really boost the voltage from that wall outlet up 5 volts from whats already there to keep my equipment happy.
Nice variable transformer. So I am not the only one that makes editing bloopers, 10:25 you repeat, or is it a test to see who watches the whole video (-: Have a good day

My bad. Lok thanks. I appreciate you letting me know. That day I edited that was "one of those days." I fixed it in YT's painful video editor.
Should have also a current comparison
Does it provide isolation?
It does not. I don't know any Variac that does... An isolation transformer is different
