If you aren't doing code welds, and just want higher strength / appearance, try E7014.

:>I always thought they used 3 phase, delta into a full wave bridge. Six diodes, :>three to ground, three to positive out. But then it's been a while since I :>opened one up. Is this something currently done?

: Some are done that way, but they also use a wye connection : with six windings (7 wires) and six diodes.

:>But in any event, you are right. You can't add them together.

: Right, that's the important point here.

Thanks for the info. I always enjoy your posts for the excellent technical content.

Thanks Ernie....

OK.... thanks!

It sorta' makes me lean back to suggestion that Ernie has made many times before.... buy a DC Maxstar 150 and then add a ReadyWelder to it!

Thanks for your input! Much appreciated!
