I am embarrassed to say this, but I bought my Dynasty 200DX last April/May and finally just got the time to finish settng it up and use it.
I know this is a silly question, but what kind of sound/noise is the 200DX suppose to make when its running? This is my first time to use an Inverter based welder, so I am not sure what to expect, it is all new to me. So I plugged it in, flipped on the breaker and fired on the machine. I have never heard the 200DX before so I am not sure if it is normal or not, its got whine/hum with a electrical sizzle in the back ground (probably electrical current doing its thing). With the OCV at 8.8 the sound is steady, if the OCV oscillates from 8.7-8.8 the whine gets up and down. While welding it was kinda hard to tell, but it I think it got quiter and the sound went higher piteched, then when you turn it off it turns to a droaning loder to softer.
I know its hard to explain or imagine sounds, I am just worried and want to make sure everything is normal and running right. I know I just may be paranoid....
Here is how it is wired up http://www.millermotorsports.com/mboard/showthread.php?t=5286 , all the wire correspond to each other (didn't mix up the hots/ground etc).
I ran a couple of 7018 3/32 rods, at 80 amps (were I typically run them) it had the same bacon sizzle but with alittle more excitment, as if the amps were to high. I am guessing this is normal since transformer and inverter based welders are kinda apples and oranges, so alot of things are going to be different between the two.
