Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: capacitor

Could I use the variac as input to the transformer? I need wide control
over output voltage. I thought that
a variac was a variable transformer? Either way I would
still have to know the cap value. I have tons of large caps
but the highest V rating is 40V, I would need 80v with
headroom.

Thanks for the input
