This is a excellent video on making a spot welder . Thank You! I have repaired microwave ovens for over 30 years . A cautionary note for anyone who is going to take apart a microwave oven for parts . There are high voltages with LETHAL CURRENT present inside microwave ovens. No Exceptions be sure microwave oven is unplugged and for extra safety short the magnatron high v. capacitor out. It has a bleeder resistor but do it anyway. A guy down the street opened his broken microwave to attempt fixing it. He reached inside and was electrocuted died on the spot.

Removing the transformer shunts increases the available power but introduces a risk of core saturation and overloading the primary.
@MysticalDork11 жыл бұрын
be very careful if you use the first method because you can easily damage the enamel insulation on the primary and cause a short circuit to the core. Paint the part of the primary that was in contact with the core with some nail polish or similar, and use a sheet of card or plastic to ensure that there are no shorts.

Microwave oven transformers are great for projects because unlike some other transformers, the core is in an 'E I" format. So the 'I' limb can be removed easily. I made my new high current switch mode power supply (20A DC) using a re-wound microwave oven transformer. After cutting the core I clamped the 'I' part back on using two steel plates rather than re-welding. They're great for use as powerful electromagnets also. The primary can be run on low voltage DC with the secondary removed. A suppression diode should be used on any switching circuitry to protect semiconductors or contacts of relays.

No, the primary, the mains side, has to be rated at your outlet voltage. the secondary, the output side you can do what ever you want with it, it will not effect the primary as it is set to give a set amount of power thru the core. However the secondary is your own design, so you could over do things on that side.

@tinkerbit11 жыл бұрын
Because the big amperage is only at the secondary circuit, this is in the thick cable. The primary is at 230 V and perhaps 10 A, so the circuit breaker doesnt flip. The secondary is "isolated" from the primary, this is called galvanic isolation. The circuit breaker "feels" what happens with the primary, but knows nothing about what happens to the secondary.
@tinkerbit11 жыл бұрын
Well, I am not an expert, and more a tinkerer. With the plates out the trafo gives more current, and more heat. So if you quit them take more care. I have read on some place that it is possible that the trafo gets hot with the secondary open so only connect it when you "spark it". And dont touch the trafo when it is connected to the mains.

nice video I tried to follow along with it and bought a used MOT, the seller connected ac voltage to the primary winding (thin wire side). And it created humming sound. At home I removed that side and when I connected ac to the secondary side it created smoke and smell and became very hot to touch. Seems like the Secondary was already short? What you say? Also Now can i rewind it using suitable size enameled wire? Will winding it with slightly thinner wire be ok for spot welding?

I noticed your first method didnt have insulation between the weld cable and the walls of transformer. The primary insulation is fine, the secondary is gone however. I am using 32mm welding cable as i couldnt find 35mm yets its pretty thick. I beleive 32mm translates to 2 gauge i believe. Two questions......shoukd i insulate the inner walls before winding in my welding cable with say electrical tape and possible cardboard? Second, you think 32mm welding cable is sufficient?

nebnoswel The enamel coating is very thin and fragile. When he slides the primary coil back into the core, one side has the paper removed. There is a good chance of scratching of some enamel and causing some short between the primary and core. Sure there is also a good chance of getting away with it, but I'd rather put some insulation in place and making sure it is safe.

electromagnetic induction, when current moves in circles it creates a magnefic field witch is absorbed by the secondary.

NoYouAreNotDreaming There are a lot of good youtube videos on it that are less than 10 minutes with some nice animations. Just search transformers induction and you'll be set.

But, perhaps you have to squeeze the tip with a hammer in order to have a "spot". Copper is better because is more conductive.

I guess you could do secondary winding from copper brake line with shrink tubing and put coolant flow through it.

I really hate when creators are too timid to narrate. Can't even finish watching. Sorry. Truth.

+ZeroFossilFuel I thought the video was pretty self-explanatory. Ammeter showed amps. 2 winds. What else is there? People that talk often say too much. A picture is worth a 1000 words. A video...1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 words.
