Overview
Variac Transformer TDGC2-2D with 20 Amp Max Output and LCD Digital Display
Variac Transformer TDGC2-2D is an affordable, versatile way to control AC voltage output. This Variac transformer compares favorably with the Variac 3PN1010B model for 25% the price, and with a high efficiency output and no waveform distortion, this Variac autotransformer can be used for a wide array of professional and DIY applications. This model also includes an LCD Digital Display in place of the less accurate analog dial display.
Variac Transformer TDGC2-2 features:
- Backlit LCD Digital Display for output voltage!
- Quality control testing
- Equipment testing on low and high voltage
- Precise control over heat and speed
- Ability to simulate various voltage and line conditions
- Rated up to 20 Amps or 2KVA Peak (16A Continuous)
- Requires AC input, provides AC output (does not convert AC to DC)
- Does not affect cycle rate
The Variac Transformer TDGC2-2D does not convert AC to DC. It requires an AC input and the output is also AC. Also, the unit will not affect the cycle rate from the power company. If your power system is providing 60Hz, the Variac auto transformer will not change that, the ouput will be an undistorted 60Hz. This unit is rated up to 20 Amps or 2KVA Peak (16A Continous).
Note: Variacs are not compatible with most GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) wall outlets. We have found that the inductive load that the Variac represents is not compatible with most GFI circuits and they will trip the breaker.
Note: Not equipped with an isolated transformer.
Note: This unit is rated at 20 amps and most household outlets are only rated for 15 amps. Because 20 amps is peak output, if used in a home environment it is only recommended for peak operation for short periods of time; sustained operation shouldn't be at more than 15 amps of continuous output, with 20 amp peaks for no more than 10-15 minutes.
