Snippp...


if we use 120 V it would in effect double the amperage draw required to
produce the same power output 

now that WOULD suck the guts out of the fuse box  ;)

the welders are used in series ( the 240 volt side) with the pig to
control the current going into the pig ...  aka   the welder acts like a
valve partially opened it allows only so much flow to go in...

the secondary side doesnt supply enuf voltage  (( we need volts  )) 

altho i have entertained the idea of using the welder and somehow
controlling the secondary output with some type of resistance to fine
tune the current draw on the welder   ( use the main to set a rough
range and then vary a resistance on the secondary output   but where do
i find resistors rated for 15.5 KW ???  ;)  )

sine wave goood    clean sine wave even more goood  :)
