Hey guys,
I had someone a while back telling me he built a capacitor bank to help run a spot welder on home grid at high settings without tripping the switch and he also said that it provides "cleaner" current thus making better spot welds (although I doubt that one).
He also said that it may take a second for the caps to charge between welds which can be a bit annoying in case I want to work fast so the first question is, can I use super capacitors?
Main question is, can you guys help me figuring out which and how many caps would I need? (220v grid)
Which other components would be required?
Is it possible doing without a PCB and not being a fire hazard?
