Then use the cling wrap - don't pull it tight over the bowl, which traps air in the container. Lightly press the cling wrap down on the surface of the quac, eliminating air from the surface. |

] | Above 150V, the transformer core is starting to saturate, so your assumption is wrong: This transformer is designed for 120VAC nominal.
Leave the Variac at that level and proceed with the rest of your tests. | Ferrite cores saturate at a given magnetic flux, this is a nice feature because the transformer limits the amount of power that can be sourced from mains. Apparently from your graph this starts to happen at 30VAC as 0.02A \* 150V = 30VAC. If you need more power you will need a different transformer.
