Murex welder ?

[Wozzaaah]

Ok, that ones gone but been offered a Hobart



Same kinda output and plate is similar on the back! Before I pull the trigger on this one can anyone confirm that it'll run the same as the first one on a big 230v 100A circuit ?

I'd be running it off the old socket for the deep fat fryer (ex hotel) so should have a decent fuse on it ?

Where on earth are you going to find 100 amps from?
The supply to your house will only be 100A if you're lucky, maybe only 60!!
You'll never be able to run it at it's full rated output so I'd look for something smaller that draws less juice.

 

[super noob]

Don't want an inverter


Plus we have a gueshouse so I'd think that given all the rooms have TV's and kettles plus electric showers the fuse may be rated rather high that and theres an industrial fridge, freezer and cooker so as long as I'm not firing it up when people are using that stuff I think I should be ok!

Gonna check the main breaker tomorrow for its rating

Where did I mention inverter?
That Hobart data plate says it needs a 125A supply at 220V!!

100 amp if your lucky, even with guest house due to it being a domestic supply, the power companies have been downgrading the fuses to 80amp whenever they do any work now

Was thinking you meant get something smaller like an inverter

No, I meant something you don't need your own personal substation to run!

I see you have two duplicate threads running so I will merge them.
Please keep to one thread, one topic.

 

[super noob]

will do what would you suggest instead of that then given that I need something that'll do up to 8mm ?

sure 20 amps spare would be loads to run all them!

 

[wheresmejumper]

a thing to remember is an mcb can be specced to deal with an inrush of current when big things are turned on,but a fuse cant

 

[super noob]

Well times 14 so I'd hope for a 100 gonna check anyway

Think I should be able to run it and use the TIG part for medium and thin with the stick for heavy gauge stuff as it should literally **** through most things on an 80A supply or even 70 or whatever the next one down is

Hi,
I have a Transtig 355 AC/DC squarewave.
It is having some issue and has been dead for about 8months and counting. The mother company in the UK does not help, I called them from kenya where I reside and they have no aftersales service nor do they have the knowledge of the existance of their products.
I am in need of the service manual or alternative if I can get the Control Board part no 1373-5351, from someone who repairs or resales parts, I have been able to change some few basic electronic components, but to no avail.
Please help me because I don't want to throw it in the scrap yard yet!!!
