[kc5cxu]

real cool but how do you wire them up you never showed that part ill look around.

[davonizdashit]

RIGHT BY HIS CAR, BY THE GAS TANK HOW SMART lol

[mrwickedwayne68]

@davonizdashit The car has no fuel tank, motor or running gear it's a shell and chassis only lol, but I see your side of the coin lol

[MrJacksking]

i think i will stick with my pickhill oil cooled welder.it has not cut out yet.. well done on the inventing

[KRAYSLiCK999]

hey does the mots get hot fast and how many welds can u get from it before giving it a rest ?

[mrwickedwayne68]

@KRAYSLiCK999

Hi there they work for about 2 electrodes and then need a 60 second break to cool down if you use the fans, you can also install a self resetting thermal cut-out switch. The better you design your project the cooler you can keep it. hope this helps.

[KRAYSLiCK999]

@mrwickedwayne68 hey U KNOW the thermal cut-out switch what the microwaves have placed inside of them would THOSE work??

I have 8 transformers all different and 8awg but was thinking possibly 6awg. The only reason i haven't put it together is i have no drill bits to make proper base to put the heavies on. Should i start smallest 2 biggest transformers or the other way around? I have this one neon light transformer it has 2 secondaries and one big primary. 2x Bigger thicker primary than my others but i wounder if it's for 240 line? My transformers all different shapes and sizes but overall the same family.

[TheSliekaStyle]

Nice one. How many volts on secondarys together?

[mrwickedwayne68]

@TheSliekaStyle

Hi there the total secondary voltage if your transformers are in phase should be close to 40V AC as each individual winding produces 1 volt. therefor 20 Reps will give you 20V AC x 2 transformer = 40V AC at the secondary output. High current low voltage.

Hope this helps.

[toxicproductions100]

cool but i have a question i have one transformer (800W) does the other transformer also have to be 800W ? please reply!

[mrwickedwayne68]

Thanks, no it can be any wattage. higher wattage equals more heat. This will effect the work cycle or time in use slightly. Always cool with fans and install a self reseting thermal cut-out and you laughing.

Take care

Wayne.
