Hi,
I'm in the process of building a coil using a 14.4KV 10KVA pole pig.
My question relates to how small an arc welding unit I can get away with
in terms of its input current rating. I can get a 220v 20amp unit at a
good price but don't know if this is likely to survive if I try to throw
30-40 amps through it with some resistance paralleled across it and
don't run it for very long.
Am I likely to smoke this welder?
Thanks,
Dave
