I have a chicago electric 180 acdc arc welder can i use the same welding rod for either ac or dc welding?
Some electrodes (welding rods) can be used AC or DC. Some are strictly DC. You may find that most electrodes run smoother on DC. Most industries purchase machines with DC capability.
Are DC generators more expensive then AC generators?
DC generators require more time and material to make. Because of this, it will be cheaper to purchase an AC generator. DC generators are typically a better product as well, and you get what you pay for.
Ac to DC formula?
formula for ac to dc
Which choice defines AC and DC correctly?
Choice of electricity defines ac and dc
Can DC series motor work on ac and DC and why?
A dc series motor can work on dc and ac because dc motors are totally reversible.
What is the Purpose of an ac welder?
It produces alternating current AC. It is cheaper to build than a DC or an AC - DC welder. Most electrodes can be used with DC. Some can be used for both. Very few are AC only. DC produces a smoother arc, is easier to strike an arc and most machines in industry are DC. Surprisingly a lot of AC machines are on farms as they were cheaper to buy.
Who is the main target for AC DC?
The main target of AC AND DC IS TO GIVE SUUPLY TO CONUMERS WERE AS AC CURRENT IS CHEAPER COMPARING WITH DC
What is the difference between an arc welder and a stick welder?
Stick welding is also more difficult to learn and use, particularly the ability to strike and maintain an arc. Arc welders are available in AC, DC or AC/DC, with AC being the most economical. It's used for welding thicker metals of 1/16 inch or greater.
Why not you use ac instead of dc to electronic components?
AC is easier and cheaper to send from the generators to the consumers than DC is.
Is ac or dc power cheaper to produce?
To produce it and distribute it, ac is much easier.
Can a DC motor be turned into a welder?
A dc is an acronym for direct current & 2 be put in to use,changed to ac which could then be used in welding
Who is better ac or DC transmission?
ac transmission is better. because it is cheaper as converter are not use.but losses are more as comparison to dc.
Is AC current cheaper than DC current?
I Think you,ll have to expand your question , what do you exactly mean by "cheaper"

Where can one buy an AC DC TIG welder?
Northern Tool and Equipment, as well as Industrial Gas and Supply are two excellent sources for this type of product. Sears also sells welders. Online, they are available from Amazon.
Does a stick welder run on ac or DC?
For output, either one. Most machines produce Direct Current DC. It is much easier to use and most electrodes can be used with DC. Almost all use Alternating Current AC for a power source - input. Hope this helps.
Are DC generators more expensive then AC generators?
DC generators require more time and material to make. Because of this, it will be cheaper to purchase an AC generator. DC generators are typically a better product as well, and you get what you pay for.
