On most machines the wire feed control also adjusts the amperage. Faster = hotter. Slower = cooler. Some machines have range settings. LOW MED HIGH you still have to adjust the wire feed in each range for your needs.

How do you size a phase converter to run a 3 phase welder?
From the nameplate on the welder you find the amperage that the welder draws at the three phase voltage that you are going to use. This amperage is used to size the phase converter. This amperage is also used to size the breaker that will feed the phase converter and wire size for the installation.
How many amps does an arc welder draw?
An arc welder can draw anywhere from 20 to 200 amps, depending on the specific type and size of the welder being used. Smaller welders typically draw around 20-30 amps, while larger industrial welders can draw upwards of 200 amps or more.
Is 60 amp breaker good for 225 stick welder?
The 225 amps is the secondary output amperage. Look on the machines nameplate to find the input amperage. It is that amperage that is needed to size the feed wire and there the breaker size. When you find that amperage you may want to re question the breaker size.
What is the amperage rating of a gma T250L 250V fuse?
The GMA series of fuse is a fast acting glass tube fuse. The dimensions are 5 X 20 mm. This series of fuse's amperage span is from 63 mA right up to 8 amps. I would suggest that your fuse is rated at 250 mA or (1/4 of an amp) with a 250 volt rating.
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 do you covert a two prong welder plug to a three prong and ground out let?
Need to know the amperage rating of the plug or the NEMA configuration of the plug and receptacle
Arc welder from the Will Weld welding Co.Oldest welder you have ever seen the case is made of wood with a lift top.Thumb screws for the different amperage's Have no idea what if anything it is worth.?
You might find where it was made and contact the state museum to see if they want it for display purposes.
Who has the higher ratings abs-cbn or gma 7?
gma
What size wire do you need for 440 three phase welder on an eight foot run?
The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?
Is 30 amp wire good enough to push a 220v welder?
If the welder does not list the input amperage, jyou can always refer back to the math that you learned in school. A simple algebraic formula will help you figure out the amperage: Amps * Volts = Watts Since you already know the Volts (use 240 for calculation), you should be able to calculate the amperage that is used by the welder. Up to about 12 Amps, use a 15 amp breaker and 14 AWG wire. Up to about 16 Amps, use a 20 amp breaker and a 12 AWG wire. Up to about 24 Amps, use a 30 amp breaker and a 10 AWG wire. You should have a qualified electrical professional perform any wiring changes if you do not have an adequate circuit already available to where you will be using the welder.
How do you calculate welding machine demand current?
To calculate the current you need to take theWatt rating of your welder and divide this by the voltage youhave setthe machine at- this gives the amperage. So for a 1440 watt welder running at 12v the current would be: 1440 watt/ 12v = 120 Amps
What would the approximate amperage setting be if a welder were set to the high range (150 to 350 amps) and the fine adjustment knob were pointing at 5 on a 10 point scale?
250 amps
