IF you will be happy with limiting your welding to 100 amps AND your clothes dryer is in the garage, you're looking at a 50 amp circuit. I have a 235 amp stick which requires 60 amps and a 155 amp MI

Hi Scott, I "think" a 300 amp rated output welder would draw about 50 amps at 240 volts on the input. Not 300. I won't attempt to advise on how to do the wiring. Good luck, Dave Russell snip

Wow ! Are you sure that's 300 amps input ? 300 out is a good size welder, but 300 in is freakin huge (like 1000 out). For example, the biggest TIG I found on Miller's site is the Synchrowave 350, wh

most definitely. I've done a lot of home wiring, but stuff like lights, switches, etc. I can follow the books okay, I've just never messed with a box before, other than to once put in a new breaker.

When the main breaker is off, there is still power in the main breaker box in that the cables that feed power into the box are still "hot". If you have any additional breaker boxes downstream of the

Guess I still don't see the problem with temporarily using an "extension cord" from the laundry room. Even if your garage is detached, you can lay the wire on the ground temporarily, then pick it up

That extension cord idea is a pretty good one for more than one reason. I have a 60 by 40 shop and one (1) 220 volt welder outlet. I have an 80 foot extension cord on both the plasma and the MIG cart

I agree, at my old house I got 8gauge romex and ran it 80ft into the garage to run my compressor, it worked great. Too great since that "temporary just for this weekend fix" lasted until I moved out

Scott already said the "300" was a mistake. JIC I was unclear before, what I was talking about was a custom-made "extension cord", using suitable gauge wire (sized not by what the welder might draw

"my bad - that's 300 amps out, not in." I believe that my "175" indicates output and requires a 125 amp breaker. Now a larger machine is going to run off a 30 amp breaker. My guess is the breaker wil

All this depends upon the transformer setup of the machine and the output voltage. If your input to that machine is 110V-220V single-phase, the current requirement might be considerable. If, on the o
