Is a wire feed a mig or tig?
The wire feed welder is a MIG welder.
What gauge wire for a welder?
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.
Can a Lincoln Electric Handy MIG Welder use flux wire?
Yes it can. I use flux core wire because there is no need for gas with flux wire.
How do you wire 230v welder to 110?
To wire a 230V welder to a 110V outlet, you would need a step-down transformer that converts 230V to 110V, as direct wiring is not safe or feasible. Ensure the transformer can handle the welder's power requirements. Additionally, check the welder's specifications to confirm if it can operate on lower voltage; some welders are dual-voltage and may require a simple switch. Always prioritize safety and consult an electrician if you are unsure.
Can you use a 12-3 romax for a double pole 40 amp breaker It is for a mig welder?
No, the wire will overheat.
Is a wire feed a mig or tig?
The wire feed welder is a MIG welder.
What is another name for the wire welder?
Another name for a wire welder is a MIG welder, which stands for Metal Inert Gas welding.
Can you weld a go kart together with a stick welder?
sure but it will probably take longer than if you use a wire feed. you might have to cut the rod in half to get to tight places. and a stick welder might be to hot and burn through the pipe you use for roll bar
What is the best welder to use for a go kart?
Depends on a lot of things. Slickest work, but most expensive - TIG. Cheapest - arc (stick) welder. Reasonably user friendly and inexpensive - wire-feed arc/ MIG welder.) Most versatile - Oxyacetylene. Oxy will give have the biggest heat affected zone and is the hardest to use (IMO). If your kart is really thin wall tubing you can forget about the stick welder and even the MIG will be quite tricky.
Is my 40 amp breaker and number 8 wire ok for my 220 volt stick welder safe?
Yes, a 40 amp breaker and number 8 wire are generally suitable for a 220-volt stick welder, as they can handle the current typically drawn by such equipment. However, it's crucial to check the welder's specifications to ensure it doesn't exceed the breaker's rating. Additionally, ensure that all connections are secure and that the wiring is installed according to local electrical codes for safety. If in doubt, consulting a licensed electrician is advisable.
What is a mig welder used for?
Mig (GMAW) has almost replaced Stick (SMAW) in industry. Small machines can weld thin materials and larger machines weld metals of unlimited thickness. Mig is easy to use and has less waste (no stubs) than stick. Flux core wire produces a slag covering but bare wire w/gas leaves a clean weld.
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?
If Three welder's are welding on one test coupon different filler wire and different welding processes after radiography one welder has failed.what about other welder he also will fails or not?
The other welder will also fail.
How many volts does a wire feed welder need?
A wire feed welder typically requires a voltage of around 220-240 volts for operation. It is important to check the specifications of the specific welder model you are using to ensure it is compatible with the power supply available.
What gauge wire for a welder?
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.

Is an 55A-80A gasless mig welder any good for welding cars?
there is no such thing as a gasless mig welder because mig stands for metal inert gas. you must have tubular wire which has the flux in the wire. i would say you should get some s wire to do the job
Can a Lincoln Electric Handy MIG Welder use flux wire?
Yes it can. I use flux core wire because there is no need for gas with flux wire.
