Hope you find a metal joining technique that doesn't end up throwing you
across the room! In your condition, maybe a bit of gentle exercise in front of
a nice warm forge and anvil would be good for you :-)


It's a pity that the manufacturers are unlikely to lend you a unit that could
be sewn up into a slab of beef and tested in proximity to a welding setup. I
have a suspicion that the screening on the cables and the noise rejection in
the controller _should_ be good enough to cope with the noise from welding,
But finding that it wasn't by being internally electrocuted would show rather
extreme dedication.


Good luck with the op and I hope the box sits there inside you for many years,
never being needed.
