Miller question.

I have a miller dialarc (used). How do I know if I have one with P.F.C., and what does it mean. Thanks

Reply:Thanks, no I do not have a pedal yet. There is a place in M.d. called BR Welding. They have a new one for $275.00. My welder is a 350HF. I do not see anything that says P.F.C.
Reply:I read the replies on P.F.C.  I know I don`t have it now. The machine was 440 when I got it. So I will using the large breaker. It is for home, hobby and to pick up extra money. I too got it at a good deal. Thanks for the info. Alan
