Ed,

Do the people that use resistive ballast have the bumping and thumping
because their welder is not the infinetly variable type?

What are the ratings of the welders that you have? I would like to
compare.
I have a 250A Century and am picking up a 300 A Lincoln this coming
Sunday. Both are the infinatly variable type.
