Hello
I have an old arc welding machine - mains current input 380V 25A, output from 15 to 60 V DC 30A to 200A -, I would like to make it " a forge " i.e. connect the + and the minus of the output to a copper resistor - see attached SW file - in order to obtain a temperature of 750° to 850° to heat steel by inserting it inside the coils of this resistor, ..., question, can Solidworks make an electrical/thermal simulation of this assembly in order to size the resistor???
Kind regards
1 resistor. SLDPRT (787.0 KB)
Hello
I think the EMS add-in can do that, but it seems to me that SolidWorks has released a new simulation module for this kind of calculation as well
thank you for the answer,
do you know a design office who can do this calculation?, paying of course and providing him with the information of the substation transformer
Kind regards
I think that at Visiativ they must be able to put you in touch with a design office capable of doing this kind of calculation
How to proceed with Visiativ?
Thank you, I'll dig a little deeper!!
