Most of the wire-feed (MIG) type welders have a monolithic high current, low voltage rectifier brick. Good for 100 amps or so with a voltage rating of 50 or more. The price wasn't bad either. 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL Solar and wind powered Lowfer " EAR" 188.830 EN93dr http://www.hurontel.on.ca/~weazle
