Hi David, I have both the detonator test set and the spike voltmeter.
Spike used on GPO and FLT batteries etc.
Detonator tester is a low current device to check circuits without setting them off. Actual "exploder" is separate part.

Variac unit could have a limited range of "rotation" and taps on the winding to give a finer adjustment.

Cheers, Ed
