Re: Usually yes

Hey-Hey!!!,
If you get a varaic that is set up with a few taps, and is designed for 240 vac input, you can do far more than 20% increase. With proper taps, you should be able to double. I know some of the bigger Powerstat which had 240 vac input design, had taps which could be configured for 180% of a 120V source.

You want to be sure you don't exceed the voltage beyond which the core saturates and appears to be a short.
regards,
Douglas
