just found an ancient welder in my garage, i cant get close enough to the date plate but its a arcos lincarc 350AC, looks about 20+ years old, does anyone know anything about these and whether I can run it on single phase?
Obviously a 350A MMA set. Now you can learn how to really weld!
It might not run on 1ph, and you'll need 32A, sensibly.
Take the plate off to get to the posts, and check out http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1772
Let us know matey.

Had it on full wack today, welding 12mm plate, worked fine on 1ph, ran 4mm rods all day without overheating - it manages the same performance on 1ph as 3ph. Grand.
Haze, if you want, post a picture of the terminal arrangement and i'll tell you how i managed it with mine (If it's 3ph i would imagine the terminal arrangement is the same or very similar)
