Wickedwayne's home made welding machine

Welder made from 2 microwave oven transformers
I have 6 spare transformers and 6 fans that I am happy to donate to anyone who is interested in making this project. 2 per person only to be fair to all,. You will need to pay the postage or pick them up if you want to have a go at it.
Best wishes from Wayne.

@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

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.

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.
