on a side note, pick up 10-15ft of 12/3 multi strand and throw an extension cord on that ---- You mean I can use some cheap ass plug to get this to work? |

220v 30a plug. the welder only draws 23amps if i remember right. standard air compressor (not the big above 5hp ones, smaller ones) come with this style of plug |
Re: Wiring 230V CE Mig - laundry room dryer plug.... its all I got! Need Help
My wall doesnt have that style plug for the dryer, Im only plugging this into the wall where my dryer port is
Can I use a washer plug wired up with this welder or not? |
Re: Wiring 230V CE Mig - laundry room dryer plug.... its all I got! Need Help
My welder is 23 amps I believe, small
Heres what I just did, I found an old dryer, same plug, so I simply cut it off with a lenght of cord. So now Im left a few wiring connections to make On the plug WHITE/RED/BLACK/Un-Coloured unwrapped wire (wasnt wrapped in plastic, no colour I guess On The welder White/Black/ Green My first choice, is white to white, black to black and green to red and the loose uncoloured wire from the plug to nothing. But I dont know what Im doing or is something needs to be grounded special at the welder or something Please inform me guys THanks |

It's a 230 volt , 30 amp machine. And it is most likley a 4 wired feed , you just dont see the 4 wire because the ground go right to frame ! Any extension cord at all would at least need to be 10 gauge wire. 12 gauge is rated only for 20 amps . Go get a damn dryer plug all ready as has been mentioned. just find whatever fits your receptacle . Go ahed argue i can list the ------- NEC article for ya too

Please inform me guys THanks Also, if the welder DRAWS 15amps it is NOT to be run on a 15amp circuit. 20amp at the least, but it seems nobody knows the god damn specs on this ------- thing. ::) __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
Re: Wiring 230V CE Mig - laundry room dryer plug.... its all I got! Need Help
Ive had a few diferent opinions on how to wire it
It is definetely 230v, and its going to be run on a 30amp breaker I blieve |

Unless this is a pure 240 volt machine it will need a neatrel docotor boost.
Look on the welder where the wire attaches there should be a red , black , white and then a green ground screw somewhere . Find the cord that matches your outlet and your good to go .

Re: Wiring 230V CE Mig - laundry room dryer plug.... its all I got! Need Help
He said the welder didnt have a red wire and it has a black, white and a ground so if its 220v those 2 colored wires will be hots and the bare is obviously the ground. ive never seen so much hasstle and confusion over hooking up a welder.
