I was out doing some welding this evening with my old lincoln tombstone welder, when all of a sudden it quit. I thought maybe i blew a breaker so i checked them, all were good. So then I start looking around, I have 2 strings of lights, one string with 4 bulbs, the other with 6. The 4 bulb string works fine, but the 6 is just hardly glowing(had to look REAL close to even tell). There is 4 recepticals in the shop, i know for sure one was working and one wasnt, didnt think to check the other 2.
The other thing i noticed, the welder was still on and if you listened carefully you could hear the fan turning. It wouldnt strike an arc or even make a spark.
Now heres the weirdest part, if i shut the welder off, the strand of 6 faintly glowing bulbs would go out or if i turned the light switch off, the welder fan would quit.
What the heck is going on here? Any ideas before i call the electrician?
