Always check the nameplate on the device. It will have the serial no., how many hertz it operates at, the voltage, and amperage. Their are different types, so the amperage will differ as well.

Can you use 10-3 with 30 amp breakers at 90 foot to run a 225 amp max arc welder?

No, using 10-3 wire with 30 amp breakers is not suitable for running a 225 amp arc welder. The wire size and breaker amperage should be appropriately matched to the current requirements of the welder to ensure safety and prevent overheating of the wire. In this case, a larger wire size and breaker amperage would be needed to support the 225 amp maximum draw of the welder.


What Rods should i use with an ac welder?

For an AC welder, it is best to use electrodes specifically designed for AC current, such as 6011 or 6013 electrodes. These rods provide good arc stability and smooth welding characteristics when used with an AC welder. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for electrode selection based on the thickness and type of metal you are welding.


Will a welder work that has a listed input as 208 230 volt 1 phase 60 Hz on a 220 line from a clothes dryer?

Yes, 220 and 240 volts are a nominal figure in the same voltage range. It is brought about by the power company, as they have a responsibility to keep voltages within a certain 10% range. The load will only notice a difference of 1% on the load current. eg. Wattage load of 2400. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/240V = 10 amps. 2400/220V = 10.9 amps. On a constant resistance as the voltage goes lower, the current goes higher and vise versa as the voltage goes higher, the current goes lower.


How do you use your portable welder to weld aluminum?

the only way you can weld aluminum is with AC current and high freak setting on the welder , if your welder does not have theses setting then it will not weld aluminum. Good answer! AC is a must! The only other way is if you have an oxy/ace setup (very low psi) or alot of mapp gas, but you have to spread a flux paste on the material (looks like drywall mud) EXTREMELY MESSY!


Arc welding melting point?

Arc welding involves using an electric arc to generate high heat to melt metal pieces and fuse them together. The melting point varies depending on the type of metal being welded, but generally, common metals like steel have melting points in the range of 2500-2800 degrees Fahrenheit. It is important for the welder to monitor and control the heat to ensure proper fusion of the metal.

Is there any copper inside an arc welder?

Like any mechanical tool, machine or similar engineering equipment, an arc welder will have lots of different materials inside it. An arc welder is an electrical machine and any electrical machine must have wiring inside it. Most electrical wiring will be made of Copper. So yes, there is likely to be some Copper inside an arc welder.


What is the difference between an arc welder and a stick welder?

Stick welding is also more difficult to learn and use, particularly the ability to strike and maintain an arc. Arc welders are available in AC, DC or AC/DC, with AC being the most economical. It's used for welding thicker metals of 1/16 inch or greater.


What breaker do you with a 120amps 120volt arc welder?

For a 120-amp, 120-volt arc welder, you typically need a double-pole circuit breaker rated for at least 30 amps. This allows for the necessary current flow while providing adequate protection against overloads and short circuits. It's also important to use appropriate wiring to handle the current safely. Always consult the welder's manual and local electrical codes for specific requirements.
