Good Quality Variac with Isollation
(1/1)
2X:
Hello,
do you know any good brand of Variac with isolation between input and output voltage? The only I found is a red one from China and I am not sure that it has isolation.

Also I found this which is a complete power supply:

MA 4804 Power supply (I asked for this in a local store and told me that is no longer in production)

I've had good experiences with the EA-STT 2000B-4.5 from Elektro-Automatik:

This unit is fully isolated, slight downside is the slow update rate on the display. This can however be improved somewhat with a slight modification.

I cant say this for certain but i have no memory of ever seeing an isolated variac, that is, a variac winding over the top of the primary coil, which is a shame because traditional variac transformers are rather inefficient by weight, due to the difficulty of getting a high copper density. It would be rather easy to fit a primary coil under the secondary variac, if the inner diameter of the core were increased a bit so that the secondary coil is a standard 2:1 inner to outer ratio suitable for machine winding a variac

I had a burned up 0-260vac 10 amp rated variac, i rewound it with 15 gauge wire and i think i can get 140vac out of it at 4 watts of no load losses.

I think the original 260vac winding was 20 gauge wire, but it might have been 18.

johansen:
They exist.
