Variable Transformers, generically referred to as "Variacs", are widely used when adjustable voltages are required for quality control testing, electronic equipment burn-in, life-tests, low voltage performance evaluation, D.C. rectifier/regulator analysis or other industrial and engineering applications.

Although generally used for 50 or 60 Hz applications, many situations arise where dual-usage to 400 Hz and beyond is required from the standard 50/60 Hz variable transformer. Information provided in the tables below will assist in determining suitability of a particular model for higher frequency applications

Check out our Variac / Variable Transformer Application Notes

Bench Top units, employing a AC power line cord and electrical outlet, can be conveniently moved within the engineering laboratory or equipment service area to provide adjustable voltage.

Bench Top models are normally shipped with Plug / Socket configuration as shown in the Tables.  Should special socket configurations or switched Input / Output be required CONTACT us for feasibility evaluation and quote

Panel mount units are often incorporated into test equipment or permanent installation

Multiple frequency Test and Laboratory units have been constructed.  CONTACT us with you requirements

Corporate and Government PO's Welcome for Variac equipment

Bench Top Variacs are widely used in Service Shops, Industrial & Academic Laboratories, Engineering Design Facilities, Manufacturing Operations and Field Installation Teams.  Inherent portability makes these units valuable in instances where actual operational parameters need to be ascertained.
