Building a VARIAC for 1000W and up to 270V AC

This video describes how I built my VARIAC, a device that can give you a variable AC voltage up to 270V and 1000W power. Of course I did not actually build the VARIAC, this is more about mounting and wiring a ready-made VARIAC transformer that I bought from RS-Components.

Carroll & Meynell 1 Phase 1kVA Variac, 1 Output, 240V
RS Stock no.:117-6014

This project uses mains voltage. If you follow along, you do so at your own risk.
