Mario, The primary (220 volt) side of the arc welder is connected in series with the LV winding of the distribution transformer. The LV secondary of the welder is then short-circuited, and the welder current setting adjusted for the desired output power level. Be very careful - you are working with instant death here! Best regards, -- Bert --
