Uffda Wrote:Ron, since you brought up the bucking transformer I have to ask: Is there any danger in using a variable transformer like my Isotap or big honking Powerstat as a dedicated 110V outlet? I promise to exercise the knob regularly.
Phil (Uffda) - If your Variac is a nice, hefty unit, I suppose you could use it on a regular basis (as far as I know). I would feel better with the bucking transformer setup, though, for long term use.
