What does it do..

 

[pinballtoys]

rather then switch something on straight from the mains you can control the ac voltage from 0 up to 260V
so if something starts to smoke you can 'limit-then-damage', mainly from my CRT monitor repair days!

handy if you've got a 48V ac relay you want to test then you can set it to give out 48V ac

What does it do..

It looks like a prop from a 1960's Bond film to me. Probs used to defuse nukes

I have one - 15A - it’s used for old stuff to bring up slowly, or for reforming capacitors…
I use mine quite regularly on old valve equipment…

Guitar amps. Mine blew up. But not going to pinfesr.

In my T.V repairing days, many moons ago. You couldn’t repair tv’s without having this on your bench.
Very useful indeed.
