Building a "Huky Control Panel"
« on: October 09, 2015, 06:52:08 AM »
Hey Guys!

So I have had my huky about a month now and put about 15 batches through it. I kind of have an understanding of what I can do to make things a little more user friendly and I am set on making a "Huky Control Panel". So with this thread I'd like to also get some of y'alls opinion of some ideas I have.

To start with, I will be switching every "load" with a toggle switch which will be located on a stainless steel panel that I will be designing and building.

With that said, I intend on using all panel mount style devices. I have read a lot of your discussions on varian and how just relying on the damper gets clogged with chaff. I have this issue as well so I have found this panel mount varian.

http://www.gordosales.com/store/pc/18TBP-1-10-p538.htm?gclid=Cj0KEQjwy92wBRCl7trx4PaIo8EBEiQASPhtCy-zU0bX_P2dFjWDZHz0OZdILXQFiWxZQdFmbx1Kem8aAtdf8P8HAQ

I intend on installing this just after the toggle switch.

Do you guys see any potential issue with this variac?

I am not sure if it is good for fan: "...not rated for inductive loads including motors".
