Can the 500 volt lighting transformer be changed into an electric welder?
The no-load voltage is higher (about 70~90 V), the arc can be smoothly started, and the voltage will be reduced to about 30 V when welding.
The structure of the electric welding machine is different from that of the transformer, and the magnetic gap of the iron core can be adjusted so that the welding current can be changed. In addition, the output voltage of the welder is also soft
500 VA transformer should not be used as an electric welding machine, so it is very difficult to reform the system, so it is better to buy a new electric welder
