We work with a wide assortment of equipment which requires a wide assortment of power supplies and loads. For AC supplies and loads we need Transformers and Chokes to be able to run and test equipment that is in for repair. We would like to have a moderate number of items that cover almost all of our typical use cases. These items can then be well made, easy to use and safe by default. The list of items includes Item | Phases | Voltage Rating | Current Rating | Purpose ---- | ------ | -------------- | -------------- | ------- [[3 Phase Variac]] | 3 | 0-415Vac | 8A | Slowly powering up drives or running foreign equipment that reguires unusual mains voltages [[1 Phase Large Variac]] | 1 | 0-260 | 10A | Variac | 1 | 0-200Vac | ? | Stays in the UPS area for testing boost and buck modes on the UPSs Transformer | 3 | 415Vac to 12Vac | ? | Under Michaels desk. Can give a very high current. Could be used as a heater or a welder. Transformer | 3 | 415Vac to 45Vac | ? | Not clear what these are used for other than that they have been used. Should be in a box, but not sure if we need both in a box. Transformer | 3 | 415Vac to 50Vac | 18A | Should be put in a box. Transformer | 3 | 415Vac to 240Vac | 10A Primary | This is redundant in that you can use a variac for the same but it is more fool proof if you know that is what is needed for a job.
