[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 10030, member: 7"] it is, typo TBH, sorry tho I suspect you may be right, (I'll come to that in a mo) tho on that note Im still not convinced, cos if V drops, then I must increase to provide the same flow to R. considering R to be the load, ie, the installation. if one variable is constant, then for each increase in one the other must decrease? normal conditions V = 230 so in a dimmer if R increases then I decreases... ? Im lost now..... back to my other off subject point, seeing as Ive got this one all f ooked up, :o why wont a normal generator run a welder? is it due to the fact a genny makes a flat wave and not a sine wave? or because when you strike the welder the current draw rises so fast the genny cant keep up(almost stalling) and thus the voltage drops to near 0. therefore in trying to figure this out I may have misunderstood some variables.
