I am working on a circuit board out of a mig welder. The problem is a
resister burnt and I can't read the some of the color bands. This
circuit board controls wire speed, arc stabilizer, etc. There is also
high voltage on this board . How would be the best way to determine the
proper resistance of the burnt resister ? Thanks for any help in advance


You really need to figure out how the resistor is used. What part of
the circuit, how much voltage/current it has on it, etc.

That is, of course, if someone doesn't have the schematic!
