I have a 2000VA chinese variac off ebay looks similar to a staco(.  No 
schematic.  It works fine when used normally.  Varies my voltage from 0-148V.  
But when its switched off and left plugged in I have 0 V between and neutral 
and 120V between hot and ground and neutral and ground.  Is this normal for a 
variac?

I was hooking up a electromagnet @5V with the variac off but plugged in and I 
got a 120V bite even when the dial is all the way to 0.  That’s why I started 
checking it. Ive been running my coil off it with no problems.
