What a difference......
...if I left my spot welder ON that long I would melt a hole to China....
Your is behaving like what I would expect and what I have seen in sheet metal fabricating plants......
Either something is wrong with my Unit or it is wired wrong.....
Can't wait to take it back to the dealer and have the sale rep try it out.... which will also check it out from a different power source.
The Miller came with a standard 15 amp 220 volt plug which is like a 110 plug except both spades are flat like two _ * _ the asterisk being the ground prong...... I had to build an adapter section using 24 inches of 10 gauge 3 wire rubber cable.... it has a female outlet in a metal box and the other end is wired to a standard 220 large welder 50 amp plug..... which in turn is plugged in a commercial 25 foot 220 extension cord which I use regularly with the Mig welder......
This is no good with out pictures..... will try a photo shot tomorrow evening if the political hassle at work does not keep me in til 6:30 like tonight.
???? how large are your tips contact area in the first samples....??
I am using the specified pointed/tappered coppe tips at 3/16 wide at the contact area.
Man this is frustrating....... particularly when the teckkie from Miller suggests using a long extension cord to drop the amperage.... ????
