I have a 110 volt flux core welder that has a wire feed motor issue.
As the welder is being used some of the main transformers power that goes to the wire feed motor lags causing the wire feed not to run at a consistent pace.
I was told that if I introduce a 25 volt transformer wired to a buck converter with a capacitor would help smooth out the voltage and would solve that issue.
The wire feed motor needs to run at the same speed all the time when on, unfortunately the power going to this motor can fluctuate (line voltage sags) from time to time.
Anyone have an idea how to wire this up?
For example, does the buck converter get wired to the primary side of the transformer or the secondary side? How does the capacitor get wired into this configuration…etc…etc.
A simple diagram showing the transformer, motor, buck converter and capacitor properly wired to the motor would be extremely helpful.
