It is very likely that the 120A current you quote is the output current. Check your Welder Box and look at the input current. It is likely around 30 Amps. To wire a 30A circuit you will need 10 gauge wire and it is likely 3 conductots + ground. You will need a 230V Breaker. Connect the black and red wires from the 10 gauge cable to the breaker, white wire to neutral and ground to ground.

How do you use your portable welder to weld aluminum?

the only way you can weld aluminum is with AC current and high freak setting on the welder , if your welder does not have theses setting then it will not weld aluminum. Good answer! AC is a must! The only other way is if you have an oxy/ace setup (very low psi) or alot of mapp gas, but you have to spread a flux paste on the material (looks like drywall mud) EXTREMELY MESSY!


Why single phase induction motor has pulsating torque?

according to a mathematical theory the flux produced when an alternating current flows in a single phase winding , this flux is composed of tow equal components which result in tow equal torques , these torques work in opposite direction to each other , hence one causes the rotor to move in a certain direction while the other in the opposite direction . this is the reason why a single phase induction motor instead of its rotor to move in one direction it vibrates. the resultant of these torques is zero. if the motor is caused to move by an external mean say by hand , then the resultant will no longer zero and the motor continue revolving and it speeds up even the external mean is removed, For a single phase induction motor to be a self starting motor some techniques are used like connecting an additional winding called auxiliary winding and a capacitor which in some designs removed automatically when the motor speed come to a certain value while for other designs these elements continue to be connected . Any single phase induction motor is provided by a starting technique so if it vibrates , then this means that the technique is failed


What is critical heat flux and what is its physical significance?

critical heat flux is the heat flux at critical point


Can borax be used as a flux?

Yes, borax, is used as a flux in chemical laboratories.


Is flux in solder?

In some solder it is. But even if it is in the solder you should still use flux.

What is welder slag?

Welder slag is a byproduct resulting from the welding process, often forming a layer on top of the welded joint. It consists of the residue from the flux used in the welding rod or wire, which helps protect the weld pool from impurities and contaminants while it cools. Slag is typically removed after welding to inspect the quality of the weld and ensure proper fusion.


Can you use what was a 3 phase motor as a windmill that produces single phase power?

No. To generate an electrical voltage you have to move the flux of a magnet through a coil of wire or vice versa. In a three phase motor there is no magnetic flux in the armature to cut the stator coils.


Can a Lincoln Electric Handy MIG Welder use flux wire?

Yes it can. I use flux core wire because there is no need for gas with flux wire.


What is the difference betweenTig wire stick welder?

a stick welder needs to replace his electrode regularly and the flux coating is on the outside while a tig machine constantly feeds the wire and the flux is produced by a filler gas


How the voltage is induced in a single phase transformer?

The changing magnetic flux in the iron core of the transformer induces a voltage in the windings.


What is the mutual coupling in single phase transformer?

primary winding flux links with secondary winding produses voltage across the secondary winding


What is the phase of the lower mantle?

Metamorphic, as it is constantly in flux.


Why does a 3 phase transformer produce an alternating flux while a 3 phase induction machine produces rotating flux when fed through 3 phase supply?

In a 3-ph transformer the flux also rotates round the 3 cores but you don't see anything moving.


How single-phase induction motor classified?

The single phase induction motors are made self starting by providing an additional flux by some additional means. Now depending upon these additional means the single phase induction motors are classified as: 1.Split phase induction motor. 2.Capacitor start inductor motor. 3.Capacitor start capacitor run induction motor. 4. Shaded pole induction motor.


What is the difference between infinite electric flux and finite electric flux?

How three phase directional relay operates?

You see the way a relay operates really is just simple physics. These physics are operated with the use of "Flux Capacitors". Flux capacitors are used in nearly every single circuit and have potential to break the space time continuim. The device containing the most potential of "Flux capacitors" is the Continuim Transfunctioner. A diagram of this ultimate device has been seen in a Documentary "Dude Where's my car?".


Is an 55A-80A gasless mig welder any good for welding cars?

there is no such thing as a gasless mig welder because mig stands for metal inert gas. you must have tubular wire which has the flux in the wire. i would say you should get some s wire to do the job
