Hi Guys

Made some good progress on the Battery Charging front but more of that later as its Tea Time!

But meanwhile does anyone know if I should use an RCB Breaker

On (A) Welding Set?

And or

(B) Battery Charger?

Or is there too much Chance of Tripping the RCB Breaker?

 

OB,

You only really need an RCD if you think there'll be a problem either through circuit overload or short circuit etc. It's used to protect the appliance and to protect the integrity and safety of your wiring electric supply. A standard battery conditioner won't need one. It will already have overload circuitry etc. If you think you've got an internal problem with that welder, I would definitely try and fix it before plugging it in.

Hi Paul (ptjs)

I think I found the problem with my 'Vintage' Welder Battery Starter Charger. I'll put some Photos on my Cherry Blossom Thread to show what I did and was also thinking along those very same lines
