The original (Jan/Feb) eCat had multiple outputs from the controller. I think the 1200 W was for the maxi. The Mini eCat has only two. Off-topic : Resistor Burnout. When I was in England (220V) I bought an American Hallicrafters radio ... so I carefully cut a resistive voltage-drop cord to match. A friend came to stay, and while I was out, noticed that the cord was warm, so he kindly replaced it. Bye-bye radio.
