That welder has a big sticker that says "DONT WELD IN THE RAIN YOU ####ING MONG!"

Sparkys please see above, comment from a real sparky. Some bloddy friend you, get your arse up here and wire this properly before I die in the rain one night.
And no you can't get the jimny.

For better penetration into steel thicker than 8mm, wire that lot directly into this.

[yoshie]

you should really have that on its own 30amp supply from your DB....

and wire it into one of these:



and one of these in your DB, on 6sq cable

I can't run it full tilt of a 13amp plug. If I need to crank it up to 6 for the full 230amp I need to plug into a 30amp socket. Up to 5 is fine on a 13amp plug and that will weld 8mm steel so never had the need to go to the bigger amp socket. {yet}

Just tell him am right and to apologise

LOL, just read this whole thread, what a palava!

Yotatech always seemed a little sensible to me, I never bothered joining, and that was before this place was a glint in Koi's eye.

Pirate4x4 is and has always been much more fun.

dudes iam planning on learning to weld with a tig
only problem is its 3 phase and i aint used tig before
and whgat amps should be used and how many amps in one that size
shall i make sure someone is there who knows what they are doing
coz i learn normaly on my own

[yoshie]

hey Sparks, its 230amps DC, step-down voltage, not sure exactly but taking into account max a standard plug top will handle is 13amps, then your looking at


2.99KW (230 x13) or in DC 230amps would be 13v


just used calculator then realised it all works out evenly

[JUDWAK]

whats a 3 phase tig go up to?

anyhow has most of you know i like to call people names and take the sweed out of em tiz call banter
but sadly banter is now dieing out

iam yorkshire born and bread strong in the arm and thick in the head
call me what ya want
wheres the fun in offending people banter is boarder line to offending

[dieselboy]

The max my tig welder went up to was 160 amps.

[blackpoolsparks]

That would just be 'ceptic' in rhyming!
Very rarely are the full words used!'

you are correct sir
only
I had to ask when I got called it

[yoshie]

I'll have to get back to you on that one matey

Yes you will and say, sorry Brian you were correct

[blackpoolsparks]

I know your the spark so dont want to argue, but I will.

The transformer in the mig ups the socket draw to a max on my machine of 230amp

I'll have to get back to you on that one matey
