That depends entirely on the current draw of the welder.

A small welder will work fine with 30 amp fuses, but make certain that the house wire is at least 10 Ga if you'll be running 30 amps through it.

If you're putting 30 amps through any wire smaller than 10 Ga, you run a very high risk of burning your house down.

If you aren't completely conversant with electrical codes and applications, you should consult with a qualified electrician or handyman (although some would argue about the handyman)

You may THINK that contracting out electrical work is expensive, but having your house burn down is FAR MORE expensive.

Can you run a 15 amp mig welder on 10 amps?

No, you should not run a 15 amp MIG welder on a 10 amp circuit. The welder requires a 15 amp circuit to operate safely and effectively. Running it on a lower amperage circuit can result in overheating, tripping the circuit breaker, or damaging the welder. It's important to use the appropriate power source for your welding equipment to prevent accidents and equipment damage.


Can you plug a 120v 20 amp wielder into a 240v 40 amp outlet?

No, it is not safe to plug a 120v 20 amp welder into a 240v 40 amp outlet. The voltage difference is too high and could damage the welder. It is important to match the voltage and amperage of the welder with the corresponding outlet.


How big of a generator do you need to drive a 200 amp welder?

When you refer to a 200 amp welder you are talking about the output side of the welder. What you have to do is find out what the input voltage and current of the welder is to calculate the size of a generator needed to operate the welder.


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.


Why doesn't the horn and turn signals work on a Honda 500 Nighthawk?

Check the fuses in the fuse box. Two or more fuses may be blown. There are six 10 Amp and two 15 Amp fuses in the box, which is located under the head light behind the horns at the front of the bike.

What do each of the icons on a 1991 Pontiac Le Mans fuse box mean and how do you know what AMP fuses to use?

i do know what each of the symbols mean but you can tell what amp of fuses to use by looking at the top. you will find a number on there that you can use. just buy fuses with the same number. on that car they are either 10,20, or 30 amp fuses. i do not know what each of the symbols mean but you can tell what amp of fuses to use by looking at the top. you will find a number on there that you can use. just buy fuses with the same number. on that car they are either 10,20, or 30 amp fuses.
