Re: can't increase tig ampreage

WerkSpace, Thanks for responding. The welder is a Airco 300 AC/DC HeliwelderV. Definitely has a good ground. What happens is, I have no spark in DCSP or DCRP, but a little spark in AC with HF on continuous. I'm beginning to believe the spark is only from the HF transformer (Tesla Coil). Also believe...

Airco 300 ac/dc Heliwelder V Repair

Have a Airco 300 AC/DC Heliwelder V, worked great until flooded by Sandy, got 80 volts out of transformer, 40 ocv, ,gets barely any HF spark in DC. and not Voltage or spark in AC. Anyone got any ideals where to look. I replaced all the small 24v dc relays, have 110 volts at outlet. Thanks
