My Buddy has a Miller Dynasty 200 Tig welder. The water cooler runs off of a separate source of 110v, and of course the welder is 220v.
He is wanting to make it all operate off of just one cord like the bigger models. He says they are all incorporated to a single plug.
He is thinking he can just pull 110 off of the 220 inside the unit. I said I don't think that will work. You'll be robbing power from the one side and may even damage the machine. But I know nothing about it to be honest.
So is there a way this can be done, besides buying a bigger machine. That's what I told him to do.
Do they possibly make some kind of conversion unit for just this purpose. I wonder if he could just get the parts from the bigger welder to work.
Any thoughts. Thanks.
