- Rectangular metal box with rubber knobs on the bottom to keep it off of tabletops, a 0-100 dial, pale yellow circular button, and red light on the top, and four different plugs across the two short sides - one side has one and the other has three. There is a circular hole in the bottom that allows some limited access to the interior, possibly a vent. Variable Autotransformers are used to control electrical voltage, power, and current so as to provide a safe and steady electrical feed to a device.
