The wire feed welder is a MIG welder.
maybe 10 amperes
Yes, your single-phase 240V 60Hz MIG welder can typically work with a single-phase 230V 50Hz supply, but there are important considerations. The voltage difference is minor and usually acceptable, but the frequency difference may affect the welder's performance and efficiency. It's advisable to check the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility and, if needed, consult with a qualified electrician for any necessary adjustments or converters.
a stick welder needs to replace his electrode regularly and the flux coating is on the outside while a tig machine constantly feeds the wire and the flux is produced by a filler gas
The appropriate gauge wire for a welder typically depends on the welder's amperage rating and the distance from the power source. For most home welders, a 6 AWG or 8 AWG wire is common for 240V circuits, especially for units drawing 30 to 50 amps. For higher amperage welders, such as those over 50 amps, a 4 AWG or even 2 AWG wire may be necessary. Always consult the welder's manual and local electrical codes for specific requirements.
No bell wire is not meant to be 230V.

Another name for a wire welder is a MIG welder, which stands for Metal Inert Gas welding.

false
its ok..i found out that it can be done, as long as its not turned up to use more than 130amp.:)

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?
The other welder will also fail.
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.
In a 230V plug, the standard color coding is as follows: the brown wire is the live (L) wire, the blue wire is the neutral (N) wire, and the green/yellow striped wire is the earth (E) wire. The live wire carries the current, the neutral wire returns it, and the earth wire provides a safety path in case of a fault. Always ensure proper connections and safety measures when dealing with electrical installations.
