Man oh man! Nothing better than a temporary solution that turns permanent. 😁👍 I wish I could find a way to easily ship things to you from the usa. There have been dozens of times over the past few years where I wanted to ship you something after one of your videos. A buddy of mine runs a local industrial scrap yard and he gets welders and stuff by the truck load. You wouldn't believe the government entities and big companies who just scrap everything after one big job is finished because it's cheaper to write it off on their taxes. Literally stuff that is less than a year old. It makes more financial sense for them to crush it all at the scrapyard then to try and sell it or whatever. They Don't really allow the public to come in and buy stuff but I go by there a few days a week and he lets me have whatever for about $0.08 per pound no matter what it is. I used to be thousands of pounds of stuff every month sometimes thousands of pounds per week. And it went on like that for the first 2 or 3 years. But it's been 6-7 years now... And you just can't do that constantly you just can't keep up with that pace. It's more than a full-time job and then you end up realizing you don't get to work on projects because it's a full-time job keeping up with all of that stuff He doesn't keep anything anymore he just crushes at all unless I want it. a lot of the government stuff it comes in has to be crushed because it's a mandatory things since it was bought with taxpayer money. But I still get whatever I want and a lot of times donate it to schools and stuff like that when I find someone looking for something, or really need it, or I have the time. But it's a full-time job and I just don't have the time. You can only use so many things. And you can only have so many storage buildings. Then....If you can't find something when you need it or easily get to it.....then you might as well not have it at all.

Most people don't know that car exhausts corrode from the inside out. That is to say that the metal actually becomes effectively thinner and weaker, hence it breaks. trying to weld them back up is only likely to last for a short time ( I have done it too). You will find the metal is effectively perforated, and the weld "pool" just runs away getting larger. and not where you intend it to be. You'll make more new holes than you started with and you may end up junking the pipe instead of fixing it. But good luck in any case.

There was a time when people were responsible for their own actions! Not today where the lawyers and insurance companies are slowly making most equipment unserviceable due to crazy safety requirements. Some of the old tube radios I work on have exposed mains on the back some even have a scary accessory plug with B+ 300-600 volts dc typically in a plug that has zero recess on the terminals! If you don’t know what your doing don’t do it, if you are learning ask someone that knows read, read some more and be prepared to get a shock or two that’s just how life goes when working on this stuff. But you must know the difference between something that will just make you mad and hurt vs something that one mistake will kill you instantly like the smoothing caps in a high powered transmitter or high voltage power lines.

You are awesome! How do you do the varnish coated wire for your transformers? I've managed to salvage some wire for rewinding once but most of the wire I've come across is not good enough for rewinding. The varnish tends to be brittle and crack after removing it. To answer everyones first question, yes, I very carefully remove the wire. I'm usually counting windings as it is and will carefully unwind and rewind at the same time or will wind it onto a fresh bobbin. The wire usually looks fine as soon as I remove it, but after letting it sit for a few days I can see small cracks showing tarnish from bare copper. Are you sourcing new copper wire, coating your own, or are there other sources of coated wire I should be looking for? -Jake
@DiodeGoneWild
@DiodeGoneWild 6 жыл бұрын
You'd have to ba crazy to coat the wire youself ;). I use an old coated wire from old devices. Deflection coils of old CRT televisions are a good source of a wire. Also sme transformers (not in resin). Some fluorescent ballasts. Some motors (for example microwave oven fans) have a nice coated wire, the winding is not in resin. Also some electromagnets and relay coils are a good source of wire. Also water pump motors from washing machines have a nice winding that you can easily unwind. Also the degaussing coils of CRT monitors or TVs (the big rectangle around the CRT, in a sticky tape).

@DiodeGoneWild

Inverters are always DC. You can't weld with a high frequency, because at such a high current, the inductance of the welding cables would drop the entire voltage. The output current is up to 100A.

@@DiodeGoneWild I see. You are absolutely right. If it would be 60Hz or 50Hz you could take the output straight from the transformer, but being a high-frequency transformer the output cables might even have more impedance than the winding itself and as you say, the inductance of the cables would eat up the output current. Thank you for clearing it up. Much appreciated.

I have been to your site quite a few times, you did build a power supply that was massive, or perhaps it was a welder, my memory is bad. Some of the small supplys i have saved the diagrams, just for personal use only. The section on p.c switchmode diagrams is very handy for reference.

I've gotta hand it to you.... perseverance to sit and wind all the coils. You're proud of them I can tell, and so you should be. I was surprised to see an iron lamination transformer in the output. At 40khz switching, that would be inefficient due to eddy current and hysteresis losses. And it's very heavy. The choke at 40khz would be a similar problem with the bh curve characteristics of iron. The output transformer then looks more like something designed for 100hz, 1khz, 10khz maybe. Please cover the capacitor bank. The charge energy in there is significant and deadly. :) gm2020 . Edited: I saw on ur site, it's not iron laminated output transformer. The two big ferrite cores are impressive. :) Good answer given as to why DC rectification is used with inverter welders - yes the inductive reactance in leads at high frequencies! All around real nice, but a bit on the dangerous side :P

The maximum current is 100A. This is not so hard to build. The hardest part is to make it safe up to EU standards :).

Hi very nice power switching for this inverter, Do you know or measured how many amps take in the input and this circuit works with 120v or 220v? thanks for share.
@DiodeGoneWild
@DiodeGoneWild 6 жыл бұрын
This one is for 220-240V 50-60Hz mains. It may draw about 10A at most from the mains. The maximum output current is 100A.

Do you have any upgrade version of this machine, such as using lm358 to adjust the output current or sth...? It will be very nice to see it!

How much amps and volts i need to weld and does it need to be dc ar ac because im thinking of making a welder from two microwave transformers
@DiodeGoneWild
@DiodeGoneWild 6 жыл бұрын
You can use DC or AC. Some electrodes are only suitable for DC, some for AC, some are universal. Some of the DC electrodes have to be negative, some positive. The arc voltage mostly is about 15-30V. The open circuit voltage of an AC welder (wit classic transformer) tends to be about 40-48V. Some people succecfully built a welder using 2 MOTs with modified seconderies. Primaries are in parallel (or in series, connected to 2 phases). Secondaries may have about 20-25 turns each, connected in series. The magnetic shunts have to be kept in the transformers to make them kind-of short circuit proof. A good fan is vital, they heat up quite a lot.

.... and the current depends on your electrodes, of course.

of course, a fan is a good idea, but for a shorter welding, the thermal mass of the big heatsinks is enough...
