[R-390] Variacs

[rbethman]

Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa!

My "forgetter" works better than my "rememberer"!  They are indeed 
110VAC primaries.

I trying to locate a rack, preferably a short one.  I have a Superior 
Variac rated at 50A.  I had to add a 30A breaker and a circuit with 10 
gauge wire to provide power for the "Beasts".  They run close to 30A 
when transmitting.  Therefore the 25A 12 gauge circuit in the shack was 
holy inadequate.  If I keyed up for more than one or two minutes, I 
would ALWAYS trip the breaker.
