GTAW? A plain motor won't be touched. Motor controllers can be hurt from HF so use lift arc instead.

I fried a triac motor controller with HF doing some overhead welding. Ouch.

At this point the motor is sitting on the bench -not connected to anything. Sounds like with all this help if I screw it up I did something really really stupid. Thanks :shock:
