Hello...
Some time ago, a farmer I was working for gave me a Pickhill oil cooled welder which he was otherwise going to scrap as it kept throwing the trip no matter how low the setting.
I'm unsure what model it is, and its not practical to look at the plate on it or post any pictures due to the machine being stored 200 miles away from where I am at the moment! One thing I know for sure is that it is not a Bantam - It is approximately twice the physical size of one - i guess it is around a 250-300A welder, is on wheels and can be used on single, twin and three-phase electrics depending on how its wired. It can also be used as a battery charger if required.
What I would like to know is what model it is likely to be (if someone says the name it will ring a bell as I did make a note of it years ago but have since lost that!) and also what is likely to be causing it to trip the electrics upon switching it on, no matter how the live feed is wired in. Also - would this be an easy fix and are parts available from anywhere?
If someone knows the model I suppose I could drop Pickhill a line and go from there myself!
Anyway, hopefully somebody will be able to help!
Many Thanks,
Jonny.
