What else can I help you with?
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.
What is cheaper to buy ac or dc welder?
A dc welder is a lot cheaper by fair of the two
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.
Will AC power tools run on a DC generator?
If the power tool has brushes to bring the current to the armature it is classed as an universal motor. It will run on DC as long as the voltage is the same potential. On a welding machine the 120 volt receptacle is a DC output and the grinders, drills, etc that are plugged into it work fine.
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.
Train runs in DC or ac?
trains can run on both ac and dc. In India trains run with dc and there is a plan to convert them to move on ac by 2010
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
Does a fan run on a dc current or ac current?
AC
Is bulb contains a rectifier to convert ac to dc?
No. A bulb can run a AC just a easily as DC.
Does a car run on AC or DC?
The power supply in most cars is DC. The alternator may produce AC power, but it is then run through a rectifier, providing DC power.
Why home inverter store dc but run appliances on ac?
bcoz it is costly to develop ac...and dc can be store nor ac
Can you convert a DC motor to run on AC?
The easiest way would be to convert the AC power to DC by using a rectifier diode and a filter capacitor. In that way you can now run your DC motor on DC.
