Hi All,
Does anyone have experience, good or bad, working with suppliers of the subject equipment?
It's my first foray in this area and don't want to overlook any suppliers with potentially very valuable depth of engineering experience and assistance to offer.
Thanks a lot,
Steve.
 
You may need to clarify what type of equipment you are referring to. I assume CLR is current-limiting reactor? That's a lot different from a transformer. "Arc Transformer"? Can you be more specific?
 
Correct on the CLR. A power supply for an arc machine is typically an air-core CLR up stream of a purpose-built transformer, which supplies on the order of 1kV to the electrodes.
Thanks,
Steve.
