What else can I help you with?
Is a wire feed a mig or tig?
The wire feed welder is a MIG welder.
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.
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.
What size wire for a 40 amp breaker to a welder?
A #8 aluminium wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
Is 30 amp wire good enough to push a 220v welder?
If the welder does not list the input amperage, jyou can always refer back to the math that you learned in school. A simple algebraic formula will help you figure out the amperage: Amps * Volts = Watts Since you already know the Volts (use 240 for calculation), you should be able to calculate the amperage that is used by the welder. Up to about 12 Amps, use a 15 amp breaker and 14 AWG wire. Up to about 16 Amps, use a 20 amp breaker and a 12 AWG wire. Up to about 24 Amps, use a 30 amp breaker and a 10 AWG wire. You should have a qualified electrical professional perform any wiring changes if you do not have an adequate circuit already available to where you will be using the welder.
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.
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.
What is the best size wire for a welder extension cord?
The best size wire for a welder extension cord depends on the wattage of the welder and the length of the cord. For most home workshop welders, a 10-gauge wire is a good choice, providing a balance between cost and performance. However, for longer distances or higher power welders, a thicker wire such as 8-gauge may be necessary to prevent voltage drop and ensure safety.
