It's not so much the duty cycle you have to worry about but the current draw, 8 gauge wire is more than sufficient to hold the current draw of your spot welder.

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.

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.


How many amps does an arc welder draw?

Always check the nameplate on the device. It will have the serial no., how many hertz it operates at, the voltage, and amperage. Their are different types, so the amperage will differ as well.


Will a 800 watt generator have enough power to operate a 90 amp welder?

No, unless you can set it low and can be assured that it wont use more than say 4000watts, the welder might momentarily use more power than what you set it to, it should not wreck the welder i would imagine unless it is a fancy mig welder or something, set the welder low you should be fine but for high end use she should be firing out 8 or 9kw so keep it low if you must.
