Hi folks
so I bought a rebranded magster 160 off a pal ages ago for my car project. I have to use it off a 6kw standard generator as there’s no power at the shed. It’s far from ideal but it’s all I have. Long story short, I’ve blown the board 3 times now and had it repaired as many times by a friend. However strangely it worked fine for a good while but now just blows, I also have started using a BOC 190 machine that we refurbed at work, now it works fine.
Like I said it’s a big standard generator and not a specific welder generator. I was looking at alternative machines etc so for my situation what would you go for? An inverter mig? I’m going on the assumption that I have a transformer type as it is?
may be daft questions but I’m light on the tech side of welders
Cheers
Chris
