Variable Isolation Transformer – Isolation, Day 30

Variable Isolation Transformer are different from a variable transformer, like a variac. Isolation from mains gives greater safety. Teardown of a variable transformer, which provides a variable voltage and isolation. Single phase 1x250V @ 3A.

Variac, Auto-, Vario- and Isolation Transformers – Isolation, Day 28

I give a short introduction to the differences between autotransformers, variable autotransformers and variable transformers. I show my collection of 7 variac transformer / variotransformer in the range from 1x260V @ 2A to 3x400V @ 25A along with a 3x400V 10kVA isolation transformer. 3x400V @ 13A Variac demonstration with data monitor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqeLLLZTBb8 You might wonder

Finished Project: 3 Phase 13A Lübcke Variac

Yesterday I conducted the first successful resistive load test of a 3 phase 13 A Lübcke variac stack. It has been been enhanced with safety and monitoring options. Read all about the construction and see all the pictures and video demonstration here.
