Hello to everyone.
This is my first thread so dont be too hard on me
I recently aquired a murex tradesmig 165, it was with the company for quite a few years and eventualy lost power(to the point where 1mm steel was a chalenge) and now im in possetion of it and am looking to fix it up for a decent ish welder for at home.
The problem is as said even on full bore or no 8 its guttless. so far i have checked and can confirm there is power going in to it it works as normal without any strange noises.
Iv been over every connection and all seem fine and iv got the output at the torch on each setting,
1. 6.3v
2. 6.0v
3.6.5v
4. 7.7v
5. 10v
6. 15v
7. 18v
8. 20.2v
Not sure what this meen as im in no way an electrician.
Also tested across the diodes and got around 20 each way testing continuity.
And iv tested the white box that goes click when you pull the trigger to find i get 240v at L1 and 240v on t1 with trigger pressed L3 and NC i get barely anything like0.3v.
Ill post some pics up and hopefully one of you clever people will point me in the rite direction.
Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for not knowing the correct terms for thing or knowing as much as i should.
