Miller HF-15-1 High Frequency Arc Starter

admin

For all you smart guys, few questions about using this HF unit:Is this Miller HF unit an acceptable choice to use with an Idealarc round top?  If answer is no then the following questions are moot ;-)Assume that my Idealarc will still need the HF modification?And finally, are these things hard to fix if they break, and/or do they break often?Thanks, Andy
Reply:Read the warning in the Idealarc 250 manual about using an HF unit! You may need to add a filter/bypass capacitor.http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...citor-question"USMCPOP" First-born son: KIA  Iraq 1/26/05Syncrowave 250 w/ Coolmate 3Dialarc 250, Idealarc 250SP-175 +Firepower TIG 160S (gave the TA 161 STL to the son)Lincwelder AC180C (1952)Victor & Smith O/A torchesMiller spot welder
