Hi to all
This is in regards to a non-Hobart welder but I am sure it is a pertinant question no matter wat the manufacturer is.
I have purchased a V160T TIG welder and am experiencing some degree of electrical interference on the AM radio in the house when the welder is used in the garage. It is worse when using the stick welding function even when not performing any welding. Just merely changing over the function switch changes the level of interference.
I have added an earth rod next to the garage and linked the mains earth in the garage switchboard to it.
Would you recommend adding another lead directly from the weldment to the Earth rod?
Would you also suggest adding a ferrite ring to the mains supply lead with the lead running supply through it or looped once through it?
Any other thoughts on how to approach this issue for domestic and neighbourly harmony.
Thanks
