HI went to use my faithfull old Thermal Arc Fabricator 200 welder today and she turned on ok and sat there on strike after that not good , with plenty of work to do.
Removed the covers to see whats up and had a look around with my meter and found the following;
No voltage at contactor relay coil 24 volt side , when the switch is pushed by hand it trips the house rcd. The power selector switch is a bit stiff could be wrong but disconnected the live feed from it and it stopped in the main tripping rcd. Any advice on its antics would be warmly welcomed
Thanku.
