Miyachi Unitek Welder

From Saker

Welder has now been trial run. Most plugs have been changed for more common alternatives.

Some modification will be necessary to allow the welder to run from a residential supply. As it is it's taking a fair chunk out of the mains (lights all flicker) so perhaps a decent DC storage bank will be the best approach. The precharge resistor will need to be softened (if it is present at all). -- Main.EdCheeseman - 02 Feb 2010
