Variacs are used to provide a voltage-adjustable source of AC electricity. Usually they are plugged into a wall outlet, and have a knob-controlled output that can range from 0 volts to about 140 VAC, depending on how the winding is connected. Variacs do not provide isolation from the wall outlet so they are not usually suitable for directly powering low-voltage devices on their own. Common variac applications are tube audio for powering experimental circuits and for equipment testing and repair, and are not usually used as a permanent source of voltage -shifted power. Common Variac Applications
Types Of VariacThere are two of the most common types of variac that are typically seen, the bench models and the open frame types. The bench model contains the winding in a ventilated metal shield, with the control knob on top. The variac sits on the bench top like a soda can sits on a counter top. It has an on/off switch, a fuse, one or more AC outlets, a line cord and sometimes a current or voltage meter. The open frame types are intended for panel mounting in equipment racks or as a part of some larger piece of equipment. Electrical connections and the inductor are exposed, but the operating principles are the same. Variacs are designed for a specific input voltage and frequency, and will not work well with other inputs. Only the output is intended to be variable. How a Variac WorksVariacs work as tapped inductors, where the "tap" is a conductive slider that moves along the length of the inductor. The inductor is shaped like a doughnut, or toroidal transformer with wire wrapped through the center hole and around the toroid. A single layer of enameled covered magnet wire is tightly wound upon the core. Each end of the winding is securely fastened and the entire winding is lacquered locking the winding to the core. The slider is an arm equipped with a carbon contact that rotates on an axle located through the doughnut hole or the axis of the toroid, The enamel insulation of the winding wire is removed where the carbon contact touches the winding, so that the contact forms a circuit through part of the windings. Variacs divide voltage by dividing the impedance between the inputs into two parts. The fraction of the divided input impedance connected to the output determines the output voltage. Using a variac, almost all the power consumed is delivered to the load connected to the output. With a variac there is some heating due to the resistance of the winding wire, and the magnetic coupling between the input and output is far from being perfect. But a variac is much more efficient than one might expect Call TEMCo - Your Variac Specialists*Custom Variac Transformer Voltage Combinations Available* Contact our team at TEMCo Transformer at 510-490-2187 to get your quote, place your order and arrange for shipping. |
