Miller RFC-23A is a remote foot control device designed to provide precise and convenient control over welding parameters. With its adjustable amperage and voltage settings, it allows for fine or full control of the welding output. It features both amperage and contactor controls, enabling the user to adjust the weld output without affecting the primary power source. The RFC-23A is equipped with a 20-foot cord for extended reach and can be connected to various welding power sources using appropriate interconnecting cords.
