Variac??
#1

By definition what is a variac? Is it a variable auto transformer or is it a transformer with variable secondary? The first not providing isolation and the second providing isolation. The definitions I've read seem to intermix the two.

I was cleaning up in the garage the other and found this in the trunk of my old car. I remember "winning" it at a live auction but didn't remember how BIG it was. Good for 20A.

I was down in the basement in my dad's

figure out what all those squiggly meant.
