WELD WINDING AND REACTOR
The AC voltage developed in the stator weld winding is delivered, through the reactor, to the machine output terminals. The BULLDOG 140 provides the user up to 125 amps of constant current AC welding for stick elec- trodes. The reactor stores energy, and this energy is released into the welding arc when the AC voltage passes through the zero point. In this manner the reactor enhances and stabilizes the AC welding arc. The reactor is designed to provide optimum welding characteristics when used with the recommended elec- trodes.
AUXILIARY POWER
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
The 4000 watt auxiliary power winding and circuitry is protected from an overload condition by two 20 amp circuit breakers. The circuit breakers are located below the output receptacles. They can be manually reset.
