HF-251D-1 Contactor..?

Wondering if anyone has come up with a cheaper solution to running a secondary contactor on the HF units.. The miller kit is over $300.. any ideas?

Reply:by all means, im not an expert but my thoughts would be to....buy one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/Siemens-Furnas-D...item1e60be0afband wire the foot pedal switch with the 24v coil on the contactorput contactor inline of welding leadbut that contactor would only be good upto 90 ampsAaron
Reply:Howdy Mrusso,Something based on AMC724's suggestion would work.I think that DuaneB built a version of same.I whipped one up using an electric lift-truck contactor as the "slammer."That was for a suitcase feeder  application, but same theory.You could probably turn both projects up with a search.Good LuckLast edited by denrep; 02-04-2011 at 02:07 AM.
