Hello can anyone how to convert this transformer in a welder transformer
The discussion revolves around the conversion of a transformer into a welder transformer, focusing on the necessary modifications and considerations for achieving the desired output voltage and current for welding applications. Participants share their experiences, technical details, and challenges encountered during the process.
There is no clear consensus on the best method for converting the transformer, as participants present various approaches and experiences, leading to multiple competing views on the conversion process and safety considerations.
Participants express uncertainty regarding the exact specifications and limitations of their transformers, including the effects of modifications on output voltage and current. Some technical details are not fully resolved, such as the implications of changing coil configurations and the expected performance of the welder.
Individuals interested in DIY electronics, particularly those looking to convert transformers for welding applications, may find the shared experiences and technical discussions beneficial.

Thnx .my transformet is 220v input and 140 v out puAdiel Samson said:I have both practical and theoretical experience on welder stuff.. So I need to ask you some question about your present transformer
I have also putet a bridger rectifierRedio said:Thnx .my transformet is 220v input and 140 v out pu
On the contrary your transformer is 220/110 step down/step up. It has 4 block of coils.. Each with voltage rate of approximately 55V ... Therefore with this parameters you can only have secondary output of minimum 73V.. By taking 3 block and put them in series and also isolating the 4th coil connection to be the secondary... You will have 220V input 73V output and probably 20-30% duty cycle.. What can u weld with this high voltage of 73V care must be taking operating with such high voltage.. And remember the current might be lower than expected.. You can increase that by changing the secondary winding with a 2X size of the original coil and half the turns then you will get 2* your current and the voltage drod to half.(31.5V) thanksRedio said:Thnx .my transformet is 220v input and 140 v out pu
