Re: [TCML] Current control

[Sfxneon@xxxxxxx]

Hi Paul,
 
The modified Variac should be placed in series with the line and the load,  
using only the wiper and one end of the coil. Or, you may need another  Variac, 
(or more reactance) placed before the slotted one to control the  voltage. 
Apparently your modified Variac doesn't have enough reactance to limit  the 
current at full voltage.

Hi all,

I recently  received some info on using a second variac to control the 
current to a pole  pig, however, I seem to be having further problems. I cut the 
core of the second  variac in two as sugested, but when I connect it up and try 
to run it, the  current goes straight up beyond 50 Amps and the breaker kicks 
in. Could someone  verify the way in which it should be wired up. Please  help.

Regards

Paul McGlen.
