Usually the rating of a welding machine is expressed on the DC output side. What you need to state is what the input in voltage and amperage is. It is this side of the welder that is connected to the supply breaker. On the nameplate there will be a voltage, amperage both stated for an AC supply connection.

What is Arc Energy in Welding?
arc energy is the amps that are comming off from the electrode
What is the cable size for motor 15kw 440 volts connection?
The current draw is about 27 amps. A motor feeder has to be 125% of the motors full load amperage. 27 x 125% = 33 amps. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 40 amps.
How much amperage does a gas clothes dryer draw?
Check the nameplate rating on the door or door frame of your washer, it should tell you the amp rating or the kw rating of the machine. If it only has the KW rating of the machine, simply divide the KW rating by the voltage of the receptacle and it'll give you the current (ampere) rating. Typically, a modern washing machine will draw approximately 7-12 amps. However, anticipate a higher amperage when starting the machine as the machine will draw 1.5X the rated current to start the machine (starting current). Regardless of the amp rating, the NFPA-70 (National Electrical Code) requiresa 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker; and the circuit for the washing machine must be on its own, dedicated circuit.
What gauge wire to use for a sub panel?
That would depend upon how many amps will be used in the sub-panel. For example, a 30-A subpanel would need a minimum of 10 AWG feeder conductors.
Can you use a 110 to 220 voltage converter on a welding machine?
Generally, no. Some welding machines are designed to run on 110 volts and they are able to weld using limited power. However, a welding machine that is design to run on 220 volts requires more power than can safely be provided by a typical 110 outlet (even if a converter is used). Here's why:110 Outlets typically only have #12 (or even #14) gauge wire, which can only support so much power before becoming dangerously hot.110 Outlets also typically tie into a 15 or 20 amp breaker (or fuse) at the panel, and if more amperage is used, the breaker will trip.Most 220 volt welding machines require a 220 volt outlet that is fed with either #8 or #6 gauge wire, and ties into the panel with a 2 pole breaker rated for at least 30 amps.
What should the welding machine be set at for a 6010 welding rod?
it dependsif your going virticle down i would set it at about 100 amps but if your going flat or horizontal i would crank it up to about 125 amps
What size feeder wire for 100 amps?
Service wire for 100 amps requires AWG #3 copper.
How much wattage is a 300 ampere welds?
There are zero watts in 300 amps. Watts are the product of amps times volts.

How many kw to run a 200 amp welding machine?
Answer depends on voltage being used. Volts x amps = watts 1000 watts = 1Kw You have 200 amp welder. Assuming you have 240volt power line to welder: 240Volts x 200amps = 4800 watts = 4.8Kw
How many seconds of gas postflow should be selected if the machine is set to deliver 130 Amps?
I don't
How can you select the current values for welding?
The amount of current (amps) is controlled by the user. It's done with a variable resistor. Another thing to note is whether you are welding constant current or constant voltage. If you are welding constant current, the voltage will vary and a set Amp measure will remain constant. With constant voltage, the current will vary and that's determined by the resistance. Constant voltage should be an easier set up. I'm not 100% sure but most stick welding is constant current, which is why increasing the arc length produces more heat, because more arc length should increase the resistance, which would cause the welding machine to increase voltage to keep the current constant.
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
How do you set current in Gas tungsten arc welding?
for giving the heat to rod and make joint easily. if you are referring to Tig welding or GTAW as you call it in America the amperage depends on the thickness of metal the thicker the metal the higher amperage you will need to create a welding pool. Unless you are very experienced, you will have to go through trail and error to set the right amps. always start off low and increase your amps until you get a pool that would fall through if you did not start moving and applying the filler rod. Your weld should penetrate right the way through.
What are welding rods?
Welding rods are fillers that add to the molten pool of metal. They are usually stronger than the metals being fused. In arc welding, they have a coating that burns and creates a shield around the puddle. welding rods are used for weld two pieces of metal together, or to cut metal if you have big enough rods and enough amps.
Do you need a darker or lighter welding helmet for arc welding?
A darker helmet shade, compared to gas welding. A shade of 10 for 70 amps, it works up from there, or you could buy a auto-darkening hood which you can see out of, but when you strick the rod on the metal it darkens to the right shade for you to still see out of.
