Is a wire feed a mig or tig?

The wire feed welder is a MIG welder.


What wire gauge do you need for a small electric welder when runnung for a distance of 35 feet?

You need to provide the voltage it operates at and the power it draws in watts.


How do I wire a single phase 120 amp 230 volt flux and mig welder to a 200 amp panel?

It is very likely that the 120A current you quote is the output current. Check your Welder Box and look at the input current. It is likely around 30 Amps. To wire a 30A circuit you will need 10 gauge wire and it is likely 3 conductots + ground. You will need a 230V Breaker. Connect the black and red wires from the 10 gauge cable to the breaker, white wire to neutral and ground to ground.


What is the conductor size for a spot welder draw 90 amp with a duty cycle 40 percent?

It's not so much the duty cycle you have to worry about but the current draw, 8 gauge wire is more than sufficient to hold the current draw of your spot welder.


How big is 6 gauge wire?

The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.


Is 8 gauge weld wire fencing stronger than 10 gauge wire?

Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. So, 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.

Is a 6 gauge wire larger than a 12 gauge wire?

Yes, the smaller gauge number, the larger the wire is.


Can you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair?

Yes, you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair.


Which awg wire gauge indicates the smallest wire diameter?

The larger the wire gauge, the smaller the diameter. 12 gauge is bigger than 14 gauge.


What size wire do you need for 440 three phase welder on an eight foot run?

The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?
