Compact Portable Variac

Because one variac just isn't enough...

Similar projects worth following
After building my bench variac, I realized that having something I can move around as a source of variable AC would be useful.

I found another Porwerstat Type 21 on Ebay that came with a knob, and it fit in a Carlon 6"x6"x4" junction box with just enough room for another Chinese AC voltmeter, small smps, an AC outlet, power switch, and banana jacks / binding to round out the build.

Because AC varies, rather than label the scale with actual volts I chose percentage of the incoming voltage. Finally, 'Spannungsprozentsatz' is voltage percentage in German - because everything sounds more impressive in German. ;)

Enjoy this project?

Lovely build! And yeah, everything sounds more impressive in German, even though it's not a Computermachine... hell, it may not even have blinkenlights, and still it would take a total Dummkopf to gefingerpoken und mittengraben it.
