[R-390] Variacs

Tue, 22 Jul 2003 13:52:38 -0400

As to "Surely no USA sources go as high as 126.5V...???", you are 
obviously mistaken, having NO knowledge what the situation is HERE.

This has been read and verified with an HP-410C, a Weston AC Panel 
Voltmeter, and a Digital VM.

It IS a concern for SOME older pieces of equipment.

I've been involved in electronics and electrical areas since age 13.  My 
family has a long history of being electrician's since the 1920s.  My 
grandfather was the Foreman during the construction of Chicago's 
McCormick Center.  I CERTAINLY know how to read meters and understand 
what is presented.
