You won't as for as you need a higher voltage, you will need to make a separate welder, if you use microwave transformer, you ll need 2 of them, with more turns on the secondary to increase the voltage. Basically spot wlding: High amps, low voltage, Arc welding: Higher Voltage, lower Amps

@guillaumelombard

6 жыл бұрын

To add to my previous reply, the cable you ll need for a spot welder will need to be much bigger in diameter since the current is much higher (probably around 400 to 500 amps depending on your transformer), however, typically arc welder have a 48V voltage output, ranging from ~60 to 250/ 300Amps output. The reason you ll need 2 transfo: it is unlikely you ll be able to re-wire the secondary with enough turns to obtain the voltage required and at the same time with a cable big enough to sustain the intensity (amps) required. So by having two transfor with the secondary wired in series, you gain basically twice as many turns or in order words, you can add up the power of the 2 transfo together.

The primary shouldn't be affected as it will always deliver pretty much the same current. I think it does matter when you have a smaller cable on the secondary ( like myself, with 25mm2), as you need to make sure that the current is not going on for too long. Though I like the way you managed to increase the power just by removing the insulation. Great job!

Hey, very nice video! There is one thing you got wrong though: The reason why you had more power after you changed your setup was not because of the additional winding but because you remove the metal that was between the primary and secondary!! This metal doesn’t look like much but it has a very strong effect! It is used to reduce the output current of the transformer by giving the magnetic flux a side path. Here is an interesting read in that topic: info.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Workshop/advice/coils/leak/weld/index.html Long story short: if you want full power out of your transformer, make sure there is no metal between primary and secondary coil!

@zozo71zozo71

@ftham888

Actually, nothing was changed in the transformer core when he increased the winding by another turn, so the amount of flux remained the same. What happened when the winding was increased from 2 turns to 3 turns, the voltage at the secondary was increased by 50%, which helps to overcome the current due to resistance. Ohms law: Voltage = Current x Resistance or Current = Voltage / Resistance.

Not good Idea to hide spotter in the box, still question is how to increase power

50qmm Kabel und 3 Windungen, das sind die entscheidenden Heinweise!!!

You actually didn't increase the power, you increased the voltage. However the amperage dropped proportionally as well. The power output, or wattage, remained the exact same either way. When you increase the windings, you increased the voltage, but lowered the amperage. You don't get something for nothing. And the output wattage has to equal the input wattage. Again, you don't get something for nothing.
