575vac 1phase Smaw?

[Izzy]

I recently purchased a couple stick welders from an online auction, the add stated they where 240vac Input when I picked them up the tag on the welder stated 575vac 1phase Input. Can I convert this to run at 240 or even 460? Is there anything at all I can do or should I cut my losses and try to re-sells them?

Maybe, my welder can be connected for several different input voltages. You'll have to look at the connection diagram, normally inside the cover.

I didn't see anything on the inside of the covers it looks like it's just a transformer in box lol

That one does not look like it's connectable for different voltages. I guess I would sell it and buy a 230V one.
