[Milsurplus] [ARC5] I Must Have Lost My Mind...

[revcom at wbsnet.org]

When I worked for an area Generation/Transmission power company we used
a -Behlman-Ivar- variable power supply.  It delivered 50-150VAC at
20-1000Hz, 1000Watt from 120VAC/60Hz.  We used it for testing harmonic
sensitivity of protective relaying systems and when measuring ground
resistance on our 345KV transmission substations.  Sure was a nice box.
I tried to buy it when it got 'retired' (was old fashioned, used tubes!)
after I left, but alas, was told it got "recycled".  Be an ideal supply
for your application.

 I'm with Mike.  I'd like to run it "as designed."  However, the power
