Re: Lamp limiter plus Variac tip
Completely agree with Mike on this. I feel much happier trying to protect myself with an RCD rather than an isolation transformer when firing up uncertain equipment for the first time. My variac and lamp limiter (switchable) are all in the same box. There are sockets for connecting meters and there is a sensibly rated output fuse. All this just makes it more difficult (but not impossible!) to make a mistake.
