Deleterious effects on the current itself? What kind of effects? Where did you hear this? A coil of wire will act as an inductor but the inductance (of a ...
It is probably somewhere in the National Electric code. it does a couple of things. now does it make any practical difference well who really knows. It is not...
... Inductance isn't much of an issue with coiled cords. The only reason that you might worry about it is because of heat buildup. This is the reason that...
The magnetic field from the hot lead is cancelled out by the return current in the neutral lead so no inductance. The only way coiling the cord would be an...
... The same amount of current flows in the parallel conductors in the cable, but in opposite directions. The induced magnetic fields therefore cancel each...
So the meter ran slower with a coiled cord? How many seconds did it take for that part of the meter to complete a revolution? I'm wondering what the...
If he's talking about an electrical signal, and it took 1.7 seconds to make a loop, his cable would have to be 316,200 miles long. Electricity travels at or...
Sorry guys, I have been a LOT slow on approving some posts over the last few days. if you just found something you posted show up, it was me being slow. Dave...
... Yes. ... 41.10 seconds no load, nothing plugged in. Other loads inside the house but they were all running in a steady state (computers). 38.60 seconds...
Ok, so I'll make the assumption that your meter is the same as mine; that one revolution of the large disc is 7.2Kh. Using the formula from Wikipedia I get...
 I"ll try to answer your questions, tho I"m far from an expert.  I have used streight aegon for steel and stainless, on steel it seems to weld hotter than...
1. Yes you need a mixed gas to weld steel (ferrous metals including SS) with the MIG process. 75/25 is the gas recommended by most but 90/10 works very well....

1. Unlike voltage, amperage is the same everywhere in the circuit. There is no drop so what you see on the meter is what you are getting at the arc. What...

... Well, the typical propagation constant (when compared with the speed of light) is 0.66 for copper. At least, it's somewhere in that ballpark....
... It was a 75 watt bulb, but don't bother. I got to thinking about Chris B.'s contributions to the thread so I shut the computers down - and unplugged the...
... If your running a welder off it sure, If your running a 75W bulb your not going to generate enough heat coiled up to bother anything so its probably not...
Hehe! I was wondering if maybe you had a refrigerator plugged in as well. That would definitely throw off the results. But yeah, I would say the heat thing...
I have a Millermatic 200 mig welder handed down to me by my father thats still up and running from about 26 years ago. I use it often for welding light guage...
... The answer to this question depends on three factors. How much strength is needed, what kind of joints are being used, and what kind of preparation is...
Hi, Doug and everyone. I just now joined. About your 200 Miller MIG. I would say YES. I happen to own a Miller 185amp/220volt, Argon/Co2(75/25), with copper...

I have found Ohio nut and bolt. But they seem way too over priced. I have drilled and tapped my own, but I'd rather have a box of them. Anyone help ?...
Is there a place where I could buy an auto darkening lens that I could fit instead of my regular lens. I have this welding helmet with the large lens, around...
