Some 3-phase machinery can be adapted for use in a 2-phase system using a phase-shifting capacitor (See the related link for a (German) Wikipedia article about the Steinmetz circuit for details).

However, a welding transformer is likely to draw too much power and thus be unsuitable for this trick. It will probably be cheaper to install a 3-phase connector in the residential home (many houses have 3 phases installed at the meter board), or to load a welding transformer for use with a single-phase residential system (if this is for a single occasion).

A motor could be rewound to operate on the lower voltage. It would need fewer turns of thicker wire in the internal coils but there are factories where motors can be rewound.

What happens to the output waveform input voltages were changed?

if the input is changed then the output is also changed.


What is downhill welding?

MY question is (WHAT IS DOWNHILL WELDING) The correct term is Down Hand Welding. Most welds in the vertical position are made from bottom to top. Down Hand means welding from the top to bottom. These welds are usually made on thin metal as the heat input is lower, thereby reducing penetration/burn thru.


Mechanical advantage is defined as the number of times that a machine increases an applied force for a given machine which would always decrease the mechanical advantage of that particular machine?

To find the mechanical advantage of a simple machine divide output force by input force. (input force is the force that we exert on a machine, and output force is the force that is exerted by a machine).


What is the Different between TIG arc welding and gas welding?

Gas welding basically used for weaker joints(in sheets) and arc welding for stronger one(plates). mobile welding (not in a shop)is the ideal time for arc welding . gas welding is the way to go as far as production is concerned , but requires environment with little air circulation or wind , plus gas bottle , machine , and a short lead , which makes it ideal for shop work answer Gas welding - generally use for welding of thin plates/pipes. Less heat input and less likely to burn off the edge of the plates (undercut). It is a more expensive process because of gas shielding. Arc welding - use for thicker plates usually with larger size electrodes. Higher weld production rate. Shielding by means of electrode coating. Both processes can meet the required mechanical properties usually

What size wire feeder should be used for 300 amps welding machine?

Usually the rating of a welding machine is expressed on the DC output side. What you need to state is what the input in voltage and amperage is. It is this side of the welder that is connected to the supply breaker. On the nameplate there will be a voltage, amperage both stated for an AC supply connection.

How many kw to run a 200 amp welding machine?

Answer depends on voltage being used. Volts x amps = watts 1000 watts = 1Kw You have 200 amp welder. Assuming you have 240volt power line to welder: 240Volts x 200amps = 4800 watts = 4.8Kw
