Industrial 3-phase welders for home use!
Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:49 pm
Hey all-
For any of you interested in getting a really good welder, for dirt-cheap, it is very possible to run many 3-phase welders off of single phase power, at full output and duty cycle.
Peter Haas and I came up with a conversion technique that I experimented with and proved on the Miller CP-200, the Miller SRH-333, and others over the last three years. I did the first H-K conversion on a CP-200, and after testing it, I moved onto other machines, and for some silly reason, I traded the pilot machine off for (of all things) A TRACTOR.
Well, I liked the CP-200 so much, I found another one... and brought it home. I've had so many inquiries about my original writeup (which was really more of a blog), that I decided it was time to do a little better job of documenting the process, at least for the CP-200. Last weekend, I did just that- I converted my CP, and while doing it, documented each step, and included helpful hints in the document. Hopefully, the document will attach...
Cheers!
