Don't know if this is of any use to anyone? but I have a Japanese friend who is happy to translate from Japanese to English [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Hi it is to me i have a Japanese welding set and i don't know if it is single or three phase , and i cant work out the controls as they are all in Japanese. I could take a photo of the panel and send it to you john

Hi John and welcome it would be a good idea if you can either pm me with a pic or better still put it on here and I will get it sorted for you, you maybe interested to know that **** isn't that far from you and he has a lot of knowledge about engineering and stuff like that so it maybe worth sending him a pm too? also take a little time to introduce yourself to everyone you never know who you might already know?

Hi i don't need help with the engineering , just the Japanese i have taken two photos but i think it would be best for me to email them as the writing is on the machine and small and needs a large file . hope this is OK . thanks John

Sent you a pm but the site is playing up so I don't know if you will get it ?

Hi yes i did thank you sent the photo . I think it must be 3 phase but the wire code is strange . thanks for that John

Here's the pics John just in case anyone else can help while I wait for my friend to get back to me

Hi i did work out single and 3 phase but as for the rest no idea it must have a up slope and down slope a post purge and pre purge . Or may be it has a pulse and the three amp controls are background currant . Still good fun .

Starting with the left-hand column, from the top:

形式 = keishiki = "
type"
(model number)
低格入力 = teikaku nyuuroyku = "
rated power"

（単相）= tansou = "
single phase"

（三相）= sansou = "
three phase"

低格入力ۻ圧 = teikaku nyuuryoku denatsu = "
input voltage"

相数　単相/三相 = soukazu: tansou/sansou = "
number of phases: single phase/three phase"

低格周波数 = teikaku shuuhasou = "
rated frequency"

製À å¹´ã€€æ˜­åâ€Å’５９年 = seisounen: shouwa gojuuku-nen = "
year of manufacture: 1984"




And the right-hand column, from the top:

低格負荷ۻ圧 = teikaku fuka denatsu = "
rated load voltage"

低格負荷ۻ流 = teikaku fuka denryuu = "
rated load current"

（単相）= tansou = "
single phase"

（三相）= sansou = "
three phase"

最ë˜ç„¡è² è·Ã›»åœ§ = saikou bufuka denatsu = "
maximum unloaded voltage"

低格使用率 = teikaku shiyouritsu = "
utilization rate"

ǍǏ = juuryou = weight
製À ç•ªå· = seisou-bangou = "
manufacturer's number"


Hope this helps John [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This section of the forum could be very useful for those of us who need this type of translation well done netsniper

sarah

Hi thanks for that Netsniper what does the blue panel say . And if you would like English Bulgarian no problem .

This is a real interesting thread I'm sure we all have something that came from Japan and wondered what all the writing says :shock:I'm off to look now :lol:

Hi i would still like to know what the front of the machine said . Thank for doing the back but still need to know the front . John

Hi did you forget about me . I would still like to know wot this says thanks John

Hiya guys just to say that my friend has been away for a week or so but he is back now so anyone got anything that needs translating then fire away [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] however what I will say is that I am only prepared in future to do this for members who who are genuine posters and not those who only come here to take what they can, sorry if that offends anyone but its give and take on this forum [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
