Re: Wiring 230V CE Mig - laundry room dryer plug.... its all I got! Need Help
Good luck on frying your welder ;D White wires in any 110/220v electrical product are always used for a neutral wire. If it was a standard 2-wire (grounds are never counted in the wire count) 220v welder, it would have 1 black wire (common 110v), 1 red wire (common 110v) and 1 green or bare copper wire for ground. But the wire colors you gave are for a standard 110v connection, even though the specs you listed require a 30a 220v setup. You really need to post a pic of this thing, that would give us a much better idea of what you're dealing with. Oh, one other thing...220v welders should be internally wired with a minimum of 12 gauge wire, 110v welders use 14 gauge internally, unless someone has replaced the cord with a different one that's incorrect.
