Abstract
A remotely operable welding machine controller device for controlling a power output of an arc welding machine includes a housing and a remote control. A potentiometer and a power supply are attached to the housing. A motor is operationally engaged to a slider of the potentiometer and is positioned to selectively motivate the slider along turns of a resistance wire of the potentiometer to adjust a magnitude of current in a circuit in which the resistance wire is included. A power cord is attached to and extends from the housing. The power cord is electrically engaged to the potentiometer and operationally engages the potentiometer to a source of alternating current. The power supply is operationally engaged to the motor to selectively power the motor. The remote control is communicatively engaged to the motor is manipulatable by a user to selectively actuate the motor.
