Can you install two 220v receptacles for a welder in two different areas of your shop on the same circuit?

Technically no. In the USA the NFPA electrical code requires a separate circuit for each large appliance receptacle- there are a few exceptions (such as a heater and AC on same circuit) - I don't think the welder is one of the exceptions. In practice, as long as only one receptacle is used at a time, it will work fine Make sure that the wire size is correct for the current (amp) draw. This is taken off of the welder nameplate. Size the breaker to protect the wire size. If more that one welder gets plugged in the breaker will trip.

How many outlets and light can you put on a 15amp circuit breaker?
A 30-A outlet would be for a specialized installation, such as for a welder or other high-wattage device. You would typically have a single outlet, although you could certainly have multiple outlets for convenience, as long as there were procedures to prohibit use of more than one at a time.Under no circumstances should any HOUSEHOLD receptacles (15 or 20-Amp) be installed on any branch protected by a 30-amp breaker, as this would cause a fire and electrocution hazard.
Is a wire feed a mig or tig?
The wire feed welder is a MIG welder.
What size wire for a 30 amp circuit for a welder?
A #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 30 amps.
What size wire for a 40 amp breaker to a welder?
A #8 aluminium wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
What is cheaper to buy ac or dc welder?
A dc welder is a lot cheaper by fair of the two
What is the proper ampere rating of circuit breaker for electric arc welder?
The proper ampere rating of a circuit breaker for an electric arc welder depends on the arc welder. Each is different. Look at the nameplate on the arc welder and choose the circuit breaker and wiring accordingly.
If Three welder's are welding on one test coupon different filler wire and different welding processes after radiography one welder has failed.what about other welder he also will fails or not?
The other welder will also fail.
Can you install a 240v outlet for a stick welder near your panel if it has slots available for a circuit breaker?
Simple answer is yes. But you need to first determine if your breaker can handle it, not just because you have an empty slot. You have to total up amps being used and check rating for your box. If it can handle it then it is a sinch to install
Is a welder an inverter?
No. My cousin brother works in an inverter company as the MD. Welder is technically different term it does not convert form of electricity.

What size circuit breaker is needed for a 190 amp welder?
The size of the circuit breaker and the wire that will feed the welder is based on the amperage that is needed by the welder. The voltage only explains what the insulation factor of the wire should be.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Is the welder salary the right way to go or are there others?
If you want to be a welder, there are many different types of welding jobs available. Depending on what level you are, the wages will vary. For example as an entry level you would look at an average of $34,369/year. As an intermediate welder you would average $39,861, and as a senior welder you would average $46,974.

Will a 20A 240V breaker be sufficient for a 240V 22A input welder or do you need to go to a 30A?
It would have to be a 30 amp breaker to use the full power of the welder. I'd say go with the 30A. The general rule is that your planned load should only be 80% of the circuit capacity. That means a 30A circuit should have a maximum load of of (30*0.8) = 24A. With the 30 amp breaker you must have at least #10 wires feeding the circuit.
Can a welder be promoted?
Pipe welder?
If you have a spa that is 240V with 4 wires can you hook an extension cord from a 240V welder to it to see if it works if the cord only has three wires?
Well, maybe. What is the current rating on the spa circuit? What is the current rating on the welder? If the welder is larger than the outlet, then no. It must be the other way around. If the current ratings are OK, then yes. Your welder doesn't need 110V so it doesn't connext to neutral. Connect the hot leads to hot and ground to ground.
