Gearbox drain plug seized 200

John,


Did you know that the magnetic component of the welding current can radiate past the ground electrode and through the ferrous structures? With some sensitive semiconductors, this can be enough to destroy the delicate junctions. The magnetic field can induce high local voltages in the lengthy harness, just like a radio antenna. You and I know what is at the other end of that long and many conductored harness :)
