Welder Pet Peeve- 210MP

[grant_71]

If there was ever a "first world problem" this is it.

Maybe its just the new inverter style welders, but as soon as I power my Lincoln 210MP up, it kills my shop radio.

Not like trips a breaker or anything, the radio speakers just stop putting out music or commercials.

My welder is on a bench about 10' from the radio, I am wrapping up my welding cart, maybe moving them farther from each other will help.

Anyone else notice this?

I used to run a Miller Syncro-wave TIG.
If I had forgotten to take off my watch, I could always tell how long I
had been welding by how slow the watch was was. Found out that when running
an arc, my watch would stop. Foot off the pedal, the watch would restart.

Yes is the magnetic field generated around it, blocks the radio waves. Hard on cell phones too. Added distance will help.

I can't keep a functioning clock in my shop, every time I weld aluminum it kills the clock, doesn't just stop it, it's dead, guess I should try a digital one, probamly the same result.

Good thing your using a pace maker.
