Finally had some time to work on this. I got the motor running well, and I can set the idle to desired rpm. I am going to test teh power output now, my cap tested bad, so I am putting a new one on out the gate. If the excitation circuti needs a bump from teh battery charger, my only question i sdo y...

My main questions are about a source for the diodes, and difficulty of installation. Also did you have to hook up a battery charger to bring back the magnetic field? Thanks in advance.

My main questions are pertaining to the capicitor and diodes. I haven't had time to thoroughy troubleshoot, but the little I did, the voltage to the receptacle and weld leads was very low, and the capacitor tested bad. I have found a replacement capacitor, but suspect I may need the diodes as well, ...

I know this is an older thread, but I just picked one of these up. I have some questions about the output side of things, and it seems like you have a pretty good handle on the issue.

After a little more research, and actually trying to deal with each company, I have decided the HTP is the way to go. I appreciate all the response. I will explain what finalized my decision. I was looking at both products, and talke to representatives from both companies. Talking with the HTP folks...

Sim,


What are you using it for? How hard are you pushing it? How often? Any dislikes?

Louie1961, I agree that both machines have features that are probably not necessities. I run a syncrowave 200 at work, so that is my basis of comparison. My main concern in my initial post is which machine is more reliable. I want to be above 200 amps because I mess with 1/4 aluminum on occasion. I ...

Dan,


how long have you had it? How hard do you push it? Any problems?

I get it. I would love to own a Miller, syncrowave or dynasty, but the price tag is way too high. I am not overly impressed with the duty cycle on the syncrowave, and it needs a 90 amp breaker to run at 200 amps for any real amount of time. I work 2 jobs, one is a lot of welding (mainly stainless) w...

Dgapilot, How long have you had your machine? I run a syncrowave 200 on a daily basis, so that is really my reference point, but I want something a little more weight and power consumption friendly at home. Regardless of the model, have you had any problems with the everlast, and how did the resolut...

Have you had any problems with your htp? What was your interaction with the support team?

Honestly, I posted in the wrong spot initially, and wasn't sure how to remove it. Turns out, I am getting more information where I initially posted, and yes, gathering (hopefully) unbiased, actual user feedback is my goal. Either machine is a fair bit of money, and I really don't want to make a poor...

Hello all, I am looking for some honest feedback on these two machines. Feedback from OWNERS/EXTENSIVE USERS of either of these machines. I have already explored all of the technical specs on my own, so what I am looking for is pros and cons. The duty cycle and extra amperage of the everlast is appe...

There are too many things a "robot" just won't be able to do. I wouldn't say that I am a "professional" welder, but I do a whole lot of it at work. In fact, it was my welding skill that got me the job. In my industry, there is always something oddball to be done, robotic welding ...

I have some questions about these machines as well. Have any of you that own them had long term success? How have the held up after a year or so?
