When an arch is made it humms it still feeds the wire and archs but that is it it also blows breakers.
If it is humming, it's loading,puting out to a dead short when triggered.. Double check the lead connections and polarity. Good luck
An extension cord is okay if you have a heavy duty cord. Make sure you get a big enough extension cord to carry the amps. I'm not sure that's the problem though. It sounds like there are some wires touching or something. Make sure that where the electricity comes into the machine that the wires aren't frayed or touching the welding machine's body. Does it arc inside the machine when you pull the trigger? That would be the next thing to look at. Hope you can find the problem soon. Lotsa work to do!
The most common problem is that people still try and run the welder with extension cords. 10 ft,25ft,50ft,100ft, these cords all drain and can't supply the energy needed as if you were to plug it straight into a wall outlet. well I don't have a plug outlet where my work is, I need a extention cord. The only solution for not having a handy outlet is a Generator. that will supply the necessary voltage needed to do the job. EXTENSION CORDS ARE A NO NO. also, always double check your ground.
Hope this was helpful, please post a rating good or bad, thank you.
