You have lots of toys! Looks good enough for me. I have a variac and my own isolation current limiting box I built. Anyone concerned is either ignorant or a keyboard worrier. Everyone that has experience with voltage knows the limitations and ways of dealing with it but everyone has their own opinions. Feel free to read them but don't take them to hart.
Thanks, I don’t mind the different inputs as I’m not an expert and can be wrong. Some times it points me in a better direction. But you are correct in that no matter how you do something there will be people that thinks you should do it different. But the good to that is the world would be dull if we all agreed on everything.

Old-school AC model trains were often speed-controlled by an isolated variac... it's a shame they're not made any more, as a 0-24VAC variable isolated transformer makes a compact and powerful hobby supply. A non-isolated variac and a separate 5:1 step-down isolation transformer give the same result, but the extra transformer is bulky.
Thanks for the look inside the iso-trans. Nice unit. Tip = If you need high volts and amps DC, you can throw a rectifier on your new AC supply.
Correct plus some filtering
Thanks

Thanks for the info.

When i was little I built an isolation transformer from two microwave transformers for my variac qwq engineering on a budget.
Thanks for the information.
What model isolation transformer is that
Thanks for the question,
Here’s a link to the one I bought.

Nope! At around minute 11:47 - that is the current transformer from the meter and measures the AMP'S going through.
Yes, that is why the text on the video at that point explains that.

@@LynxElectronicsLab Lol....i think he wasn't wearing his glasses.
Wouldn't you know it? I saw this one day too late.
Sorry to hear this. Hopefully it will help you for the next time.

@@LynxElectronicsLab I don't think he can hear you. It's not a duplex system ;-)
