I've recently "acquired" a pole pig and would like to know for
certain how to connect a welder to it as a current limiter.
My guess is that you put the welder's primary in series with
the pig's 240 volt winding, short the electrode and ground
leads together, and control the current with the amp selector.
Is this right?  Details please, as I don't want fireworks
except from my coil's toroid!!
