Unless you raise that handle and give the key seven or eight turns, you won't see a sweep on your screen. Hope that helps.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-84142757217971773762018-01-28T19:13:21.409-05:002018-01-28T19:13:21.409-05:00Thankfully, it was just a stomach bug.

They’re the kind you get for 75 cents at Home Depot.<br /><br />DPM is a digital panel meter. I’d call it a black box, but it’s not in a box, just open frame. There’s a toroid core on its back that the black wire goes through in order to sense current, that’s the through line on the symbol and two wires to go to the AC socket to measure the output voltage of the variac. I think I linked to the eBay auction where I got it in one of the posts I put up about it. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-47362316531419797732018-01-28T18:21:38.548-05:002018-01-28T18:21:38.548-05:00RE: variac Box, What is the DPM module and SO4 ?
