A browse through currently available offerings might be a good start: **LINK**

https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/power-supplies-transformers/transformers/variacs/?sra=p

Find something of similar weight and it will probably have a similar rating.

After that … run some load tests and see when it starts to get warm.
