Fellow coilers,

Some time ago I posted to the list:
---------
If a PIG's LV winding was ballasted with an arc welder and the PIG 
fed the primary circuit of a TC system: Does the current consumption 
change *much*, if the initially open welding leads are shorted?



>>>>>>>>>>Actually, for an arc welder to actually work as a ballast, the
welding leads
REQUIRE to be shorted together.
