Is anyone familiar with using a Lincoln AC-225 arc welder as a ballast for a
pole transformer? Should the arc welder secondary be operated shorted or open?
Has anyone looked inside the AC-225 to see how the current adjusting knob
actually controls the current? I am speculating that the knob mechanically
moves the core of the transformer.
