I have a 10HP rotary converter and I tried to run my Lincoln DC welder witch is basically an AC motor but it won't even hold the welders relay closed and if it dose it just stalls.

Any electricians in the house?
onetreeforge replied to J.Gonzalez's topic in Power Hammers, Treadle Hammers, Olivers
People don't believe me when I say I have 240v in every room in the house. I can go and buy a 250 amp mig welder and plug it in in my bedroom because all the plugs are the same to. But seriously, wouldn't 110v power tools be lame? -

I always wondered what its like with 110 volt power tools and welders? Are they rubbish? In NZ we just have 240v in the house, its illegal to sell any 110v appliances. -

I had that problem with my VFD, converting single phase 240v to 380v it was on a 30 amp barker which would click off after a wile, I ran 16mm 2 neutral screen cable from the sub board in the house to the shed and fitted a 40 amp barker, I measured a 27 amps at the input for the vfd when the hammer was under full load, they pull more amps than you would think. -

This was in a garden and I got it cheap, I couldn't leave it, its got nice wide jaws and is not worn out, I have already made a spring, I can copy the mount from one of my other vices, I would like to find some Iron to forge it from so everything matches.

Not sure, a quick google suggests a 201 We have those mud wasp things but they are nowhere as bad as those ones, they will fill up the odd bolt hole or your raincoat -

Show Me Your Antique Drill Press

Got this Champion post drill on wensday, was part of a garden display but it had been restored in the past, the owner was surprised when I said its not going to be used for garden display anymore, also I got a leg vice. The other smaller post drill is un branded, its definitely not Champion or Buffalo. I really hate it how people buy this stuff for garden displays and then scrap it when they decide they want to plant something elce. -
I got it, dont see why it wouldn't run off a VFD, there is no connection between the welding side and the AC motor.

I saw an old Lincon vertical DC welder for sale and was thinking it would be good for my situation, I understandthey have an AC motor to run a DC welding generator? I have an 11kw VFD phase converter, witch will not run a normal 3 phase welding transformer but would run an AC motor happily. My AC arc welder is about 70 years old and doesn't work as well as it could thrugh the long run of cable to the shop. I use to have an old garden tractor that had a DC welder on it that was driven off the engine, I really liked that thing.

A 60 LB Atlas hammer has shown up in scotland witch means Atlas hammers are probably not made in NZ even tho they look just like the Anderson hammer and the Judson hammer. -

Yes 27 amps before the VFD step up to 400v. I am going to have a 40 amp breaker installed right at the power meter and run the biggest possible cable 57 meters through the bush to the shed. everything is 230/240 volts -

I need to run a heavy cable to the shed as its pulling 27 amps thrugh an extension cord and some inadequate wiring in another shed, its making the lights pulse. Should work a lot better with full power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBYdy9gVcSY&t=4s -

I am trying to get some lathe parts at the moment from the USA, the shipping is no problem but its expensive, a friend has offered to get it sent to her folks in Texas and they post them to her with the next parcel to NZ
