Default Hobart CyberTig 200 DCS question

I have a Hobart CyberTig 200 DC-S welder. It is a 3 phase 200 A rated
SCR fired, transformer based TIG welder.

I have a PCTI's 3 phase firing circuit that is made to control any SCR
fired, transformer based, 6 SCR power supply, by specifying current
and voltage with potentiometers.

It is shown he

It appears to be very straightforward to wire it (I have a
manual). What I would like to use it for is to convert it to a both CC
as well as CV operation so that I could use it as a TIG/Stick or MIG
welder.

The nice thing is that, it seems, it can be wired without disturbing
too much in the welder. All I need to do is unplug the current
Programmer controller, add some piggy back terminals, and connect this
circuit in. I would start with a simple control for CC and then expand
a little bit by making it control valves, HF and switch from CC to
CV. (CC is set by specifying max voltage as OCV and controlling
current with a pot, whereas CV is set by specifying max current and
controlling max voltage with a pot).

My question for now is this: Is this CyberTig actually a 300 A, 60%
duty cycle welder, controlled to run at no more than 200 amps, or is
it really a 200A max welder. It is specified to have 100% duty cycle
at 200A.

Good morning or good evening depending upon your location. I want to ask you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good mac davis Woodworking 0 April 21st 05 05:38 PM
