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.

What is drying efficiency?

The coefficient of drying is a number about the utility of a dryer. A simple example : You have dirty clothes dry, and you wash them. So now, you have a totally of 4kg wet clothes and you put them on the dryer. The coefficient of drying K come from this formula : K = Weight of wet clothes / Weight of dry clothes So it depends from the speed of your dryer!


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.


Would using a 200 foot extension cord which is 6 gauge 3 wire cord on a 220 single phase welder present any problems?

Absolutely, you will have voltage drop, maybe enough voltage drop that the welder will not work <<>> To do a voltage drop calculation for the 200 foot cable the input amperage of the welder needs to be stated. At a maximum distance of 201 feet and limiting the voltage drop to 3% or less, a #6 copper conductor can deliver 37 amps on a 220 volt system. Check the nameplate on the welder to see if it falls withing the range of 37 amps input amperage. Do not use the welders output amperage.


How many Watts will a portable diesel generator have to produce to run a Lincoln Tig 275 Welder at full power?

A Lincoln Tig 275 Welder typically requires around 9,000-10,000 watts to operate at full power. Therefore, a portable diesel generator with a minimum output of 10,000 watts or more would be recommended to run the welder efficiently without overloading the generator.


What size wire for 220 air conditioner heater?

The size of wire needed for a 220 volt air conditioner heater depends on the specific electrical requirements of the unit, including the voltage, amperage, and distance from the electrical panel. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the appropriate wire size to ensure safe and efficient operation of the equipment.

Why would a welder use helium and argon gases during welding?

A welder might use helium and argon gases during welding to improve arc stability, increase heat input, and prevent oxidation of the weld pool. Helium is often used to increase heat input and penetration, while argon is commonly used to shield the weld from atmospheric contamination.
