[ARC5] Need Help with Variac Diagnosis

[Brian]

Hello Wayne,
The url you provide is actually misleading. The language does not meet NEMA 
standard - I suspect it's written by a journalist. The wiring diagram will 
not provide the marked output Voltages. The active mains input should go to 
pin 2.

Within the past 18 months a friend of mine has found two Variacs in the 
airport dumpster and gave them to me (yes, our airport has the very best 
trash!)  One is a 5 amp that I have all nicely installed in a cabinet. The 
other he just gave me is a little Powerstat rated at about 140VA.

It had been a while since I hooked up one of the critters so I found this on 
the Internet:

Good Luck!
