Wonder if anyone can shed light on this as it seems something or nothing that I know nothing about
When I run a customers old transformer three phase mig off his big diesel generator it runs sweet during the run but start up its pecking away with the wire for around a full second.
Does the job but it's a bit like when you have a poor earth but then once you get a pool it's off. Is this an issue on start up power being too much for the Genny? He runs 1.2mm might it improve if I drop down to 1mm? Or is it an underpowered Genny or welder fault?
Mentioned the earth thing because that's the only time I have known this before its not that at the business end at least
