I did read something that mentioned a filter for noise suppression so yeah prolly that and the sticker.

[Reidy02]

Why?  What you need is a bigger branch run.

Ah branch run is what you're saying there the actual wiring to the power point that the welder will be pluged into should be of a thicker guage? All the 250 dx's I've seen on ebay are set up to run on three phase, I think that may have to do that because with the highest amps being 15.

Hey reidy

Just been reading up on this and from what you and others have been describing sounds like you went through the same things we needed to to get our 300DX to comply.

We had the thing hooked up and phones and such would trip out. They sent the machine back and got it fitted with a device that stopped it from doing such things. Funny thing it was purchased in AUS.

I'm not 100% on all the details so i'll try and get all the info on monday and get back to ya

[fabr]

We'd ALL be interested in the info.

[Reidy02]

Yes very interested thanks heaps Matt I'd appreciate it very much.

Yeah that's the answer I can't seem to get, is what has to be done (eg) a filter or some such thing fitted, no one would give me an answer from Miller or the welding shops cause as I said they are for sale here on ebay so they must have done whatever to the machines so they could be used. Are your's set up in three phase?

Can you post a pic of the Aussie wiring schematic Reidy? That should show whatever the diff is.

[fabr]

maybe........................

Nah Fabr I can't find one.

[Reidy02]

What are you thinking?

[fabr]

trace the schematic,find whatever fikter there is and add it. no biggie .......maybe/probably.

[Reidy02]

Yeah what I just did was one of the guys that's selling one on ebay I sent him a msg asking him to copy any wiring diagram and send it to me and I'd pay him. God it shits me I'm looking at a tool shop online here in Aus that sells miller 250dx welders for nearly $7000.

[Reidy02]

So recently I have been talking to this really nice guy in Western Australia, and he's going to photocopy all of his wiring diagrams and he's gonna send it to me, which I thought was really nice of him. I was a bit cheeky and offered him 2 grand for his machine, at first he said no and I can fully understand why, but he must of thought about it after talking to me, and told his Son that he'd take it, so I'm thinking about buying that one and that way I can have a look at his and try and make mine comply, and maybe sell one, or keep em and have one for parts, or whatever.

Sorry fellas. Have been missing from the forum for a while. I should check back more

I've talked to Reidy about it and I'm still chasing info on it. There is a device that can be fitted to stop the emf from tripping out computers/phones ect. I'm waiting for a phone call from the bloke who installed it. Once I do ill let you all know what it is.
