Started a welding job with this machine today. Its a 400amp 3phase machine 10K on welding and 3.5K on outlets, 4 cyl. Perkins diesel. It has 3 transformers on shared iron. Welder was not putting out much and I noticed that one of these transformers started smoking and was real hot. I shut it down. Im suspecting that the windings in that one have shorted. Im wondering now what my options are. Get it rewound? Replacement probably would be very expensive. Could a comparable tranformer be sourced elsewhere like on EBay? Any help appreciated.
