A while back, I built a resistance soldering unit per some information I had on
the subject. While it worked using a pencil lead with an AF 50-Watt
transformer, the 50-Watts was not powerful enough to make it work with a carbon
welding rod.
Over the weekend, I picked up a dual throttle AF 18B 175-Watt transformer,
which I assume works out to 87.5-Watts for each throttle. While it appears to
be capable of doing the job, all it really does is trip the circuit breaker.
Two questions:
1. - Can I connect the two sides in parallel for more power and less strain on
the circuit breakers?
2. - What else am I doing wrong?
