Hiya
Last time I had been on the forum, I received brilliant help with a capacitor replacement and I hope the wise-men can help me again!
Been working with this welder since then, only replacing the on-off switch once!
My plasma cutter does not arc!
I have not used the plasma function for...
Hi there!
I've spent some time reading treads and I just have praise for all the help and advice offered!
I've been using Arc for some years now as a metal sculptor and MIGged last when stick men and women were still on TV!
I realized that I'll have to do some urgent maintenance and have bought...

As you would have noticed I managed to post somewhere in the middle of everything. I've been welding with arc for sometime now.., even fixed my previous van's rust above its windscreen with an arc..., but that was purely due to laziness and time constraint....
I've used a MIG last when...
Hi!
Looks much better than my attempt today!
What size machine do you have?
What was your settings?
I have to save my van as well!
Needs a miracle, but I'm optimistic!
Cheers!
Hi! Does anyone have any specs on this machine? I mainly Arc weld, but I have to fix some serious rust problems on my van and have pulled the MIG out the dark corner.
I last used a MIG when there were only stick men and women on TV.., before the days of black and white.., I will be posting some...
Hi there! Welder fixed! Got capacitors from Hong Kong and replaced both - the blown one and the one next to it just to make sure!
Thanks everyone for your advice!
Thanks for that! No problem to replace, just want to do it properly and at a lowish cost! Will keep you posted on my progress!
No, we are the worst parents in the world - no TV, but I might get them a fish tank... :rolleyes:
shenion - thanks!
ilovemygt35r - I'll replace the next with the print towards the same side - hoping that will be correct polarity?!
Not sure which black thing you're referring to - there are wires and a black rubber-like protective around another wire...
mike 109444 - So it will OK...

Hi there!
Capacitor SR 475K 400V
I've found - MPP 475K 400V P25MM - in a Google search.
Can this do?
If the Voltage can be considered as poorly rated, can I replace this with a higher Voltage Capacitor?
Thanks
I've bought this machine in 2009 and it did for me what I needed done. Tonight though I heard a strange noise..., after unplugging I opened it up, plugged in again and switched on - smoke!
It starts smoking from a specific part (no idea what it's called) on plasma and weld functions. Please see...
