Re: TIG makes my fluorescent lights flicker...

How about a solid ground to the frame ?

I know it would not do that to my lights, but a ground fault unit
10 feet from me always went down.

Never got that to work - now the shop doesn't have GFI in it at the new house.

I've recently wired up my shop for my Miller Sync 180SD and several
other tools... I've noticed that when I start welding, the lights
(cheapy 4' fluorescents from Home Depot) flicker??? Is this normal? Is
something wrong with my wiring? High frequency? Also, my MIG welder and
my 240V mill don't cause any flickering, which would cause me to
believe that it's not the wiring but something with the TIG welder. Any
thoughts/advice?

Thanks.
