The DC Cheater was designed for the small shop, or hobbyist that already has an AC welding machine.

It’s an economical way to add DC capability to your shop. You already have the expensive part - the welding machine.

The DC Cheater is rugged, and simple. It rectifies the output of your AC welding machine to provide FULL WAVE DC output at up to 195 amps.

Use at up to 80% duty cycle, or the duty cycle rating of your welder, if lower.

Easily connected and disconnected using your welding cables. Just cut the cables and add cable lugs.

Can be used to stick weld or build your own "scratch-start" TIG welder.

Quickly change from DCEN to DCEP and back to AC.

Approximate dimensions of housing: 8"x6"x6" (20cm x 15cm x 15cm).

Cooling fan requires 120VAC. (Other voltages and cordsets available.)

Input and Output Studs: Brass 1/2-13 UNC (12.7mm) x 3/4" (19mm) long, with brass wingnuts.
