I doubt it goes all the way to 11.


IIRC... Most variacs go up to 110%.


Then I guess it does go to 11!



All I've seen are either 1:1 at maximum, or 6:7 (120 In/140 Out) if
they have the over voltage output tap.


The ones I've seen here in the UK have a reversible dial plate screwed to
the back of the knob - one side is calibrated in %, turn it over and its
marked in volts.

All I've seen so far had a few more turns past the live input terminal so
you could select a higher voltage than was going in, my variac is gathering
cobwebs in the garage somewhere, so its not easy to check the exact % over
Vin.
