Everything is out of stock at kentstore.com.

I already ordered the breakers from automationdirect.com anyways.

Re: 3M 1.5HP Air Grinder - The Rolls Royce of air grinders

I take it due to pressure differential issues you probably simply run different tools on each size compressor rather than linking them together and then running a splitter off that. Actually they're all plumbed together in parallel. They feed a single regulator and then then it splits into the two ...

Re: Stel S300 on a 400V, 3-phase up-converting transformer

300A is at the low-end for the larger 8mm carbons, but it did quite well, IMO. I'm basing off of what I have seen on YouTube and the results that others have gotten. I'm sure it would have been better with another 100A, but then again I can always drop down a size, no big deal. I never really though...

IMO, you need X-ray eyes to see the penetration.

Re: 3M 1.5HP Air Grinder - The Rolls Royce of air grinders

Of course if you can afford the grinder and compressor to power it, you can probably just gouge it away anyway as you've been experimenting with recently ;) Yup, lots of options, depending on when/if I need them. Air delivery is as follows 80gal 10HP (38 CFM) 20gal 2 HP (5.5 CFM) 25gal 1.7 HP ( 4.5...

(4) Binzel-style 2.5m (8ft) MIG guns w/10k pot on-handle for remote amp adjustment

I thought I was going to use these for a project; not gonna happen so letting them go. $240 ea shipped in the US via Large PM. (usually a remote amperage control alone from CK sells for ~$200 a piece; this one has one built-in). Red teflon liner, perfect for aluminum welding. The short lead will hel...

Maybe you don't need a circuit breaker if you already have one, just a local isolator: s-l200.jpg Or maybe a d.o.l. motor starter with thermal overload fitted: I'd like to know where exactly you source your isolators. My google for that model number or even isolators in general failed to retrieve s...

Re: I Need a 400V, 3-pole, 25A circuit breaker.....what would you use?

But yea, that place has all sorts of electrical enclosures. Fact is, if you're not intending to trip the breaker often, seriously consider just a disconnect box with fuses. Then, not only is it dirt cheap (by comparison), but the fuses are only like $5 ea, and if you never blow em, what's the diffe...

Coldman, seems more than person has suggested those DIN rail type breakers, and I was linked some that seem like I can make them work (likely in a custom enclosure): Automation Direct, 480V 25A 3-pole C-curve trip curve 35mm DIN Rail Mount , that look like I could make them work.

My memory is shot... :mrgreen: Seems to me you did get 3 phase service run into your place some time back. So you're saying you got a transformer in order to run a welder? That would be supplied by the 240 3 phase with a breaker already. You just need a disconnect box, (or switch off the breaker wh...

As the title states. I need a 400V 3-pole circuit breaker. The 3-pole breakers at my local big box stores are rated at 240V. What would you use?

Re: Stel S300 on a 400V, 3-phase up-converting transformer

The lil' S300 handled the "big" 8mm carbon rods pretty well. I had it turned all the way up to 300A in gouging mode.

Maximum electrode size....... for 100% duty cycle. Seems that is just a reminder in the event that the user wants to maintain 100% duty cycle.
