Benchtop Variable Transformers

Our bench top variacs, manufactured in two styles, ‘Safe Block’ and ‘Carryvolt’ provide an efficient means of varying an AC voltage for equipment testing. The Safe Block style variacs are mounted in an enclosure complete with a quick connection safe block mains connector. The Carryvolt units provide three options for connection of the test item and come complete with output monitoring of voltage and current.

Benchtop Variac with Safeblock

The Safe Block mains connector is a hinged cover unit with earth live and neutral spring loaded connector clips in the base. The leads of the item to be tested are clipped into place and two ‘knife’ connectors in the hinged cover complete the circuit between the variac and the connector clips when the cover is closed.

The safe Block thus provides a quick and safe method of connecting test items to the variac.
