Hearty congratulations for your effort in presenting videos in the English: Language, you deserve high marks. Your attitude towards learning is brilliant and that goes for your interest in welding, electronics, and languages, and anything else in life. I am a little worried about the " special component" sparking and the welder arcing through it! as it seems to be installed at a location where it could be replacing the torch itself!! I have to think more about this. Again well done.
don't think about it, just try it,, ,I discovered it by accident after connecting a series of resistors I saw that in a resistor with a defective cover, let the high voltage pass through the skin.
@@zuzuniagrikubanos6473 Great. Is it possible to replace the special component with a resistor and capacitor mounted in series to prevent hf from returning back to the transformer and destroying it? Thanks
@@GP-zm2kd I fully agree that the special component can be replaced with a capacitor of value that would be a short circuit to the HF and an open circuit to the welding set frequency. I did that without the series resistor included but I fully agree with you a low-value resistor would not do any harm as the HF current is low. It is interesting how displacement current ( capacitors) can be substituted for conduction current ( current through an arc or copper flow ) James Maxwell knew what he was doing when he wrote Curl H= J + dE/dt. as that is what is contained in the welding set with HF start.

You my friend are a very smart man. Just a word of caution, be very careful of EMF generated by high frequency arcs. Keep in mind that EMFs generated by high-frequency welding equipment and components, such as inverters and pulsed welding processes, may produce an additional type of EMF, known as radio-frequency (RF) radiation. RF energy radiates through space in the form of wireless waves or digital pulsing. Human blood contains iron and other minerals and there are studies that show how our blood is affected. This is not widely publicized because it will cause negative impact to the welding industry. There is no other technology to weld metal at the moment so it is kept quiet. We have heard of the dangers of RF from mobile phones, RF from HF welding is much more powerful. Stay safe.
what you mention is correct and certainly human bodies are affected by electromagnetic waves such as cell phone radio or wi fi or satellites and even hv pulses but the human body regenerates if we maintain a balance way of life away from toxins, smoking, stress, and poor diet.
I thought RF radiation was non-ionizing - just heats up cell tissue or some such. Can't recall where I read that. The majority of transformer based welders are stuck at 50-60 hertz depending on your local power supply. There are some wicked expensive Transformer TIG units that have frequency adjustment but I don't know if anyone makes units like that anymore. And those units have been around for a long time. If there was a serious risk (other then the usual and known risks like welding with a pacemaker) associated with HF produced by inverters and high end transformer TIG machines then wouldn't the industry would revert to "old" transformer welders? Go back to using exotic gas mixes to weld any relatively uncommon metals, colorless stainless welds etc?

Hello my friend, I congratulate you on your great work, after watching your videos I made a tig machine and it works very well, there is only one detail that I cannot find why it is, it turns out that it consumes a lot of current through the primary of the main transformer when welding, yes I put the output at 200A in the primary, it consumes almost 100A, and that only happens when I use my machine as a tig, has it happened to you? Do you have any contact where I can exchange with you about these wonderful tig welding machines? Greetings from Cuba, Central America and the Caribbean
most likely you have a leak in one of your coils and when you use the high frequency in the tig it makes an arc inside the coil and increases the consumption,,,check or rebuild the special componet whose use is that the high frequency does not affect the coil but is transferred directly to the welding point,, if this does not correct the problem then you need another welding transformer or to locate the leakage by unwinding and re-winding the primary and secondary coils. in this link you can contact and upload a photo if you need more help. = doityourself123.forumgreek.com/t505-topic
I didn’t need the English cc. Very good Video. Just curious what is the special component I must have missed something. Or maybe my ability’s are not up to doing something with adding High Frequency to a standard inverter welding machine. Can you tell me more on this subject. Thank You fo the knowledge I’ve gained from this video already
Estimado Zafdeep. Posiblemente Zuzuni, no pudo agradecer tu comentario por estar muerto. Su muerte pudo deberse a electrocución, al haberse perforado el aislamiento entre primario y secundario ( y/o gabinete) del transformador 220/50 VCA. Aislamiento típicamente pensado para tolerar un par de miles de voltios. Especialmente, usar la configuración que definió como DC, es la más grave. El aislamiento se puede ir degradando lentamente, hasta que en algún momento el nivel de carbonización es lo suficientemente alto para electrocutarte. El dispositivo tiene que tener el apropiado aislamiento y supresores de descarga, para evitar el tipo de problemas descrito previamente. Saludos.
You have invented something I have been looking for and your video is amazing, thankyou so much. I have an old transformer welder and have been meaning to make an AC TIG from it for a couple of years so I could Weld Aluminum. I bought a HF generator off ebay so I am good to go. I am also interested in a couple of things on the DC version if you do not mind. a) why have you put the "Simmer Coil" and big inductor in the in the ground side. b) what is the unction of the Diacs. May thanks again. PS do you have any videos of you using this to Weld Aluminum
aluminium welding = th-cam.com/video/5V7aUaB0A1A/w-d-xo.html and = th-cam.com/video/KbTm4J6Xmpg/w-d-xo.html simmer coil = th-cam.com/video/bjG6Gfjffmk/w-d-xo.html big inductor = is for more soft and continius work the Diacs = is for extra protection of the diodes from simmer Hi-voltage spaiks
new subscriber because i love how you get a kick out of your "special component" also thank you very much for helping me with this video! i recently bought a tig/mig/plasma welder and didnt realize that it was a DC only. I am hoping that i can some how convert it to AC/DC. so with this video and your other video i hope to have all that and hf start ( which i may have since i dont believe it scratch start) . if you can answer this question for me that will be amazing! in a DC welder does the transformer produce AC current, which is then fed into a full bridge ractifier to get DC ?
thanks for the comments, i love it. as for your question = an inverter welding works with pulsed rectified voltage and so you can not get AC voltage,,you need either a very sophisticated inverter or a simple welding transformer as I do in the video,,the transformer is cheap and does the job perfectly at AC 50Hz.
@@zuzuniagrikubanos6473 thank you very much! so just to make sure i have a full understanding. ill need 2 transformers a welding transformer for my ac/dc (adding full bridge rect to get dc) and a smaller transformer for HF ( like from an old crt tv) correct? again thank you very much i look forward to your videos very informative and to the point!

Hello, do we need a large current and voltage at the same time with the gas out, to get a good weld, or do we need a large effort with gas only, and why does the user not be electrocuted if there is a current and a large voltage at the same time, please reply and thank you very much
it is about two different current values in the same conductor, one with a few volts and many amperes and one with thousands of volts and zero current,,,but there is always the risk of electric shock...
I need your help, I am total newbie, how would schematic look if there is no rectifier, because I have dc inverter maschine and i want only dc welding.Thank you in advance.
Zuzuni...Good night...excuse me my inglish isnt so good ...your work and vídeo can help me very much.But would be possible you send me the value of all components such diods,capacitors and so on.I will get and thankful for this help. Your edres is not available to me.Thanks.best regards .
Where u get high frequency board ebay? which one? . so this box is or is not connected to the other welder? .. im confused why you have another giant welding transformer in the box if you connected the other welding box to this gray box.?
the gray box is a rectifier for DC Tig for AC i conect direct to welding box,, the big transformer in the gray box is a filter chok with only one coil. For the hf board I do not advertise, take whichever you like.
Great. Is it possible to replace the special component with a resistor and capacitor mounted in series to prevent hf from returning back to the transformer and destroying it? Thanks
Try it and tell me the result. Do not forget to tell me the value of the resistance in watts and ohms,And the value of the capacitor in volts and farads. thanks in advance.
@@zuzuniagrikubanos6473 Thanks for your attention. I am thinking of a filter consisting of an 8 Ohm 25 W resistor in series with a 12 microfarad 250 V capacitor. This filter should protect the transformer upstream of the filter. However your solution is very cheap and this is good. Thanks bro.
This „special component” is basically a voltage dependent resistor? I don't understand the role of the capacitors and the diacs on the diode bridge. The purpose of the „special component”, and the capacitors, and the diacs together, is to protect the welder's diode bridge from the high voltage? Please give me a detailed explanation. You can use your language, if it makes easier to explain, i can translate it.
the capacitors, and the diacs together, is to protect the welder's diode bridge from the high voltage The purpose of the „special component”, is to connect the ground and the electrode to simmer coil.
If I understand it correctly the SC is a spark gap. The first inductor on the DC version does not conduct high frequencies but can pass the 40v for the welding current. This way you can apply a high voltage between the tool and ground without the HV getting shorted out by the thick welding wire. Because the first inductor is effectively removed from the circuit as far as the high voltage is concerned you need a device to close the circuit for the high voltage but not short out the weld current. The spark gap allows this.
What is the link to where you describe the special component SCS? What voltage is the diac and what kind and value for the capacitors across the bridge, the part number for the High current diodes and how many are used (for example if many in parallel), and how to construct the huge high amps chock (i.e. how many henries) for the DC side TIG circuit? Please provide this info either in the description or answer me directly, Thanks.

Or maybe my ability’s are not up to doing something with adding High Frequency to a standard inverter welding machine. Can you tell me more on this subject. Thank You fo the knowledge I’ve gained from this video already
at the minute 4΄00 I explain what it is the special component .
Awesome. Needed to know if I could manage building a HF start unit for myself. Might diy it instead of shelling out 500$ for an Arc Pig. Thanks.
Thank you, excellent video. I would like to know how to make the "simmer coil".
I buy it ready made,,,, but if you want to do it yourself = th-cam.com/video/oRXHI6L-fXA/w-d-xo.html
Gracias x la información. Buen video
Estimado Zafdeep.
Posiblemente Zuzuni, no pudo agradecer tu comentario por estar muerto.
Su muerte pudo deberse a electrocución, al haberse perforado el aislamiento entre primario y secundario ( y/o gabinete) del transformador 220/50 VCA. Aislamiento típicamente pensado para tolerar un par de miles de voltios.
Especialmente, usar la configuración que definió como DC, es la más grave.
El aislamiento se puede ir degradando lentamente, hasta que en algún momento el nivel de carbonización es lo suficientemente alto para electrocutarte.
El dispositivo tiene que tener el apropiado aislamiento y supresores de descarga, para evitar el tipo de problemas descrito previamente.
Saludos.
You have invented something I have been looking for and your video is amazing, thankyou so much. I have an old transformer welder and have been meaning to make an AC TIG from it for a couple of years so I could Weld Aluminum. I bought a HF generator off ebay so I am good to go. I am also interested in a couple of things on the DC version if you do not mind. a) why have you put the "Simmer Coil" and big inductor in the in the ground side. b) what is the unction of the Diacs. May thanks again. PS do you have any videos of you using this to Weld Aluminum
aluminium welding = th-cam.com/video/5V7aUaB0A1A/w-d-xo.html and = th-cam.com/video/KbTm4J6Xmpg/w-d-xo.html
simmer coil = th-cam.com/video/bjG6Gfjffmk/w-d-xo.html
big inductor = is for more soft and continius work
the Diacs = is for extra protection of the diodes from simmer Hi-voltage spaiks
Many thanks. I will let you know how I get on making my one
new subscriber because i love how you get a kick out of your "special component" also thank you very much for helping me with this video! i recently bought a tig/mig/plasma welder and didnt realize that it was a DC only. I am hoping that i can some how convert it to AC/DC. so with this video and your other video i hope to have all that and hf start ( which i may have since i dont believe it scratch start) . if you can answer this question for me that will be amazing! in a DC welder does the transformer produce AC current, which is then fed into a full bridge ractifier to get DC ?
thanks for the comments, i love it.
as for your question = an inverter welding works with pulsed rectified voltage and so you can not get AC voltage,,you need either a very sophisticated inverter or a simple welding transformer as I do in the video,,the transformer is cheap and does the job perfectly at AC 50Hz.
@@zuzuniagrikubanos6473 thank you very much!
so just to make sure i have a full understanding. ill need 2 transformers a welding transformer for my ac/dc (adding full bridge rect to get dc) and a smaller transformer for HF ( like from an old crt tv) correct?
again thank you very much i look forward to your videos very informative and to the point!

Would be nice to figure out if it’s possible to make a trigger switch for the Lincoln Electric Speedtec 200C machine? Not HF, just a switch to stop the arc when finished welding.

Hello, do we need a large current and voltage at the same time with the gas out, to get a good weld, or do we need a large effort with gas only, and why does the user not be electrocuted if there is a current and a large voltage at the same time, please reply and thank you very much
it is about two different current values in the same conductor, one with a few volts and many amperes and one with thousands of volts and zero current,,,but there is always the risk of electric shock...

Hi, Mr Zuzuni, sorry by ask you but what ´s bridge rectifier diode´s value? 10nF or more? Regards from Brazil.

Where u get high frequency board ebay? which one? . so this box is or is not connected to the other welder? .. im confused why you have another giant welding transformer in the box if you connected the other welding box to this gray box.?
the gray box is a rectifier for DC Tig for AC i conect direct to welding box,, the big transformer in the gray box is a filter chok with only one coil. For the hf board I do not advertise, take whichever you like.

Thanks for your attention. I am thinking of a filter consisting of an 8 Ohm 25 W resistor in series with a 12 microfarad 250 V capacitor. This filter should protect the transformer upstream of the filter. However your solution is very cheap and this is good. Thanks bro.
Do it work?
This „special component” is basically a voltage dependent resistor? I don't understand the role of the capacitors and the diacs on the diode bridge. The purpose of the „special component”, and the capacitors, and the diacs together, is to protect the welder's diode bridge from the high voltage? Please give me a detailed explanation. You can use your language, if it makes easier to explain, i can translate it.
the capacitors, and the diacs together, is to protect the welder's diode bridge from the high voltage
The purpose of the „special component”, is to connect the ground and the electrode to simmer coil.
If I understand it correctly the SC is a spark gap. The first inductor on the DC version does not conduct high frequencies but can pass the 40v for the welding current. This way you can apply a high voltage between the tool and ground without the HV getting shorted out by the thick welding wire. Because the first inductor is effectively removed from the circuit as far as the high voltage is concerned you need a device to close the circuit for the high voltage but not short out the weld current. The spark gap allows this.
Hmm or perhaps its just a HV cap to the same effect?
@@Kezat if something works dont fix it
@@zuzuniagrikubanos6473 I agree, my intent was to understand how it works, not to replace anything. Best wishes.
What is the link to where you describe the special component SCS?

Please provide this info either in the description or answer me directly, Thanks.
