High Frequency Adjustment

 


That's what the inside of an inverter welding machine looks like. I've read how they work, but I'm still not convinced all of that electronic mumbo-jumbo is necessary. The old transformer-rectifiers worked well and were pretty much fool proof. Also, are these things going to work in the event of an EMP event? Should I store it in a Faraday cage when I'm not using it? Anyway, I took the cover off so I could adjust the contact points on the high frequency generator. I'm hoping that makes starting the arc easier now when I weld aluminum. It was dinner time when I got the cover back on, so I'll try it out today and see how it goes. Going to pick up some steel as well.
