To the dissapointment of some, I have aquired that
huge variac from the guy nextdoor. It turned out to be
a 240V 60A unit. I'm sorry he decided not to part with
all of them. Heck the knob alone is bigger than my
hand.

Now with a 50lb variac I need to redesign my control
cabinet. 


>>>>>>Are you sure that variac is rated at 60A?  50 LB definitely doesn't
sound right.  I have a powerstat 1256D variac
rated at 240V, 28A which weighs about 60 LBS.

I would think a 240V, 60A variac would weigh at least 100 LBS.
