This is a distraction from the side project of the main project. I wasn’t able to form a good Thermocouple weld with my spot welder (for my SMD oven) – reminded me of this project.
I’ve organized the material and sketched a schematic for a DIY C/D Welder. C-D-Welder
The original was overly complex with a transistor to turn on the SCR and a relay to disconnect the power supply. I’m thinking of adding an LED to the unused pole of the disconnect switch.
SCR 50RIA20 is getting hard to find in single quantity.
