STEP A : Make sure that your amp is OFF. Plug it into the Variac . The Variac is OFF with the output voltage
knob set to zero (0). Turn on the Variac’s power. Then, turn on the amp’s power.
Variac : A variable transformer used to vary AC voltages. Also
the tradename for a brand of variable AC transformer. There
are other brands, but the term is generically used to describe
all of them. A
variac
allows adjustment of the incoming
AC mains voltage. The better quality units have meters
for voltage and current, or both, and fuses for protection.
Variacs come in many shapes and sizes. But their function is
basically the same. If your
variac
does not have an amperes
(current) meter, you’ll need to use a separate meter.
NOTE : The
Variac
in the photo to the left does not have an
amperes meter whereas the Tenma model does.
