Spot Welders and Body Shop Wiring Issues
Spot welding is a major procedure a collision repair facility must utilize if they are to remain profitable and meet today’s high standard of repair, safety, ICAR and OEM standards.
This article is not to teach you about why you need a spot welder (this is very well established) but rather to offer you a proven alternative to a common problem many shops face when purchasing a high powered spot welding machine.
ICAR and automotive manufacturers are insisting that repairing today’s intensely complex automobiles require spot welding as the method of choice and for many relevant and important reasons.
So What Is The Most Common Issue?
Electrical Requirements!
Yep, that’s it… We have experienced many times, our customers not having the required 220 Volt 3 phase electrical service in their facility to properly operate one of these incredible power demanding awesome machines.
Several factors come into play when considering purchasing a 220 volt 3 phase spot welder. These are:
- The transformer servicing the facility must closely match the rating of the welder.
- The length of run from the electrical service and wire size must be factored in order to prevent a critical voltage drop which could compromise the weld quality and cause possible damage to the welder circuitry.
- Circuit breakers must be of sufficient size as well as the receptacle and plug needing to be of heavy duty construction.
- If you meet all these criteria Great! But if you don’t “You Have An Option” Continue Reading.
Some shops find themselves in a dilemma when it comes to having the proper wiring in their facility. Either they are fortunate to have good wiring to support these wonderful machines or in many cases do not.
So now what?
Spend thousands of dollars in rewiring the shop, transformers, breakers etc.etc. or don’t buy a spot welder at all. Not Good. “So when you just have no other choice we offer an Option”
