HIGH frequency start BOX

When welding with an AC arc welder, it is commonly necessary to “scratch start” them to get the arc going. For those unfamiliar, it is just like it sounds. You drag the head across something just like a giant match. There are some that come with an arc stabilizer or “high frequency starter”. This is preferred, however they can be difficult to find. [Bill] shows us exactly how to make one of our own. though you may have an simple sufficient time discovering a huge transformer, you may run into some problem discovering the capacitors, as well as tungsten spark gaps. If you handle to get your hands on them, you can comply with [Bill]’s schematic as well as develop one of these starters for yourself.
