What gauge of wire from the panel to the outlet would a 240V 52A rated welder require?

#6 You can use number 6 copper if you wish,you will definitely not overload it or you can figure the wire size by the duty cycle. If your welder has a 100 duty cycle rating use wire good for 52 amps or a number 6. If the duty cycle is 90, multiply the amp draw by .95 x 52 or 49.4 amps or a number 8 wire. These are a few more of the duty cycle multipliers 80 duty cycle(.89) 70 duty cycle(.84) 60 duty cycle(.78)Duty cycle takes in to account that most welders do not weld continously at maximum welder output all the time.

How much should an electrician in CA charge for installing a 50 amp outlet?
It depends on the distance from the electric panel and the difficulty in running the wire. You need 8 gauge wire and the outlet itself is expensive. You also need to describe if it is single or three phase to allow an answer that makes any sense.
What do you need and how can you install a ground cable if your 240V outlet doesn't have a ground wire?
You need a 3 conductor wire with ground. For example if you had a 30 amp breaker for that outlet you would need 10awg 3w/ground. That's 10 gauge 3 conductor with ground and replace the old wire back to the panel.
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
How do I wire a single phase 120 amp 230 volt flux and mig welder to a 200 amp panel?
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.
Can you change a 2prong to a 3 prong on a window air conditioner?
You can get a ground adaptor, but it is much safer to have an electrician install a properly grounded outlet. This may require having to install a new line directly to your electrical panel.
I am wiring a circuit in my shop to run a MIG welder that draws a max of 30 amps The run is approximately 40' from the service panel What gauge wire should be used for this circuit?

How do you install a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. This is for a commercial cotton candy machine?
You find a space in your electric panel that will hold a 30 A breaker. You run 10 gauge wire from the electric panel to where you mount the outlet. You buy a 30 A rated outlet with a receptacle that matches the cotton candy machine. Black wire goes to the brass colored screw on the outlet, white wire to silver screw and ground wire to green screw.
Does a 2007 acura tl require premium gas?
yes. 90% of newer acura's require it. It should be in the service manual as well as on the instrument panel where the gas gauge is. " Premium unleaded only"

Where is Power outlet fuse for 2000 passat?
The rear seat 12v power outlet fuse is the 20A fuse located above the relay panel, which is located behind the lower dash panel (below the steering wheel). The luggage compartment power outlet fuse(s) are the 20A fuses below the same relay panel. see http://www.b5one.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5622 for a description of how to access the relay panel.
