Hi guys,
The recent forays into semi-suitable transformers, and the fact
that this is the income tax season, have got me thinking about buying a
pole pig. I have some questions, though.
With the current limiting arc welder in place, what is the
typical
current that you pig coilers are using in your setups?
Am I correct in assuming that with a 5kVA pig operating at rated
voltage is delivering just under 400 mA into the circuit, or am I
reading
the power ratings wrong?
What is the reasonable amount that one can overdrive a pig in
terms of input current?
What current capacity should my lab have?
I'm sure that the answers to these questions will only generate
new ones, but that's all I have for now.
Thanks,
Stan Harle
