Electronics Forum / Electronics / July 2008Jaycar Variac ?
** Hi, it has been claimed that the Jaycar MP- 3080 variac has the front panel fuse wired in the AC input to the unit instead of the output circuit. http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MP3080&CATID=&keywords=mp3080&SPECI AL=&form=KEYWORD&ProdCodeOnly=&Keyword1=&Keyword2=&pageNumber=&priceMin=&priceMa x=&SUBCATID= Can anyone confirm this ? ..... Phil > ** Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Can anyone confirm this ? The simple absence of an output amperage rating proves it. " Now supplied with slow blow fuses for extra reliablity " !!!!!! Report to your authorities. Graham "Eeyore" = Pooh Bear = Poopie = Graham Stevenson = Pommy Ratbag YOU are a disgrace, a monstrous charlatan and fake, an insufferable egomaniac and pox on the face of the planet. You spread your PIG IGNORANCE about with every post impeding the flow of real information. Get off usenet and stay off. YOU are just another usenet CRIMINAL. ..... Phil The colour is so pretty as well. >> ** Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Graham > The colour is so pretty as well. Do you have a term called the 'pink dollar' over there ? Graham >> The colour is so pretty as well. > > Do you have a term called the 'pink dollar' over there ? > > Graham Yes we do. :P That awful pink / magenta colour isn't exactly butch is it? LOL > ** Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > ..... Phil We dont have a Jaycar unit and it does not have a fuse, but we know when we are pulling too many amps.. It Buzzes... Really loud.. lol I think if someone needs a fuse, then maybe they should not be using one? Even Jaycars little comment "- Now supplied with slow blow fuses for extra reliablity ." (or is that reliability) is just a little hint at this... Allan techs Rule..:> "Allan" > "Phil Allison" >> it has been claimed that the Jaycar MP- 3080 variac has the front panel [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > lol ** An audible " trouble pending " alarm - if ever I heard one. > I think if someone needs a fuse, then maybe they should not be using one? ** Fuses offer invaluable, silent, ever vigilant, maintenance free, reliable & cheap protection. Hard to dislike that. > Even Jaycars little comment > "- Now supplied with slow blow fuses for extra reliablity ."

BTW The exact same unit is sold by WES and by at least one firm in NZ. ......
