Richard,
I thought I would give you an update on what's been going on up here. I have
slowly been getting things ready to move outside. I am trying to get things
set up so all I have to do is roll everything outside and plug everything
together. I'm trying to get as much wiring as possible set up with
connectors so I can set it up and take it down in maybe 20 minutes. I still
haven't put the rest of my ground rods in - haven't had time.
I was running the coil in the basement this last weekend with the welder set
so the primary current was about 30 amps - and the breakers (20 amp) did kick
off twice. It's nice to know they will kick off somewhere. I still plan to
run with the 40 amp fuses and I will get some more breakers - a 30 amp and a
40 amp. We have a store here that sells used electrical parts and equipment
so the breakers should not be too expensive. That is where I bought the
Powerstat variac.
I will be gone for the next week. We are going to Las Vegas for the Yamaha
dealers meeting and the PGA show, leaving tomorrow (Friday). I am a Yamaha
golf car dealer here in Spokane. It will probably take me two days to wade
through all the mail when I get back.
