Depends upon how far you plan to go with it and what the ordinary operating current of the machine is.
The further away you are, the more resistance there is in the wires and the bigger the wire must be, to avoid damaging the welder with a voltage reduced by the resistance.
For instance, a 240-v 48-A appliance would only get 228 volts at the end of 100 feet of #10 AWG wire because it loses power due to the resistance of the wire.
If you want to go more than 100 feet, you would need larger wires. For 260 feet you would need #6 AWG if you want no more than a 5 percent voltage drop.

The amperage that you are looking at is probably the secondary output. Go to the nameplate of the welding machine and look for the input voltage and amperage. Most industrial machines usually take about a 30 amp outlet for the welder to be plugged into. If this is the case then a # 10 cab-tire flexible cable will fit the bill. If it is 48 amps on the input then as suggested above a #6 conductor will handle up to 65 amps.

What size wire is required for a 220 volt at 54 amps?
6 AWG
What are the wires on a Lincoln ac 225 welder there are 2 black and 1 green?
Check the nameplate on the welder, if the voltage that runs the welder is 240 volts then the two black wires connect to a 240 volt supply and the green wire connects to the ground of the supply.
What is the fundamental quantity of electricity indicating the ability to do work of forcing electrons to move?
The Electron Volt. Its the energy required to move one electron through a Potential Difference of one Volt. Commonly used to decribe size of particle accelerators 1 GeV , one Giga electron Volt , 1 X1012 electron Volts.
What is the breaker size for a 10 KVA electric heater?
What size breakers are needed for a 30kva transformer 208 volt feed 600 volt out put
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.
What size wire is required for a 220 volt at 54 amps?
6 AWG
What is the 60 Hz on a welder with the listed input as 208 230 volt single phase 60Hz?
60 Hertz is the frequency that the welder should be connected to, to work as it is designed to.
What are the wires on a Lincoln ac 225 welder there are 2 black and 1 green?
Check the nameplate on the welder, if the voltage that runs the welder is 240 volts then the two black wires connect to a 240 volt supply and the green wire connects to the ground of the supply.
What is the required wire size for a 230 feet run 480 volt 100 amp?
Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.
What size maximum level of primary-only overcurrent protection is required for a 600-volt transformer with a primary current rating of 54 amperes?
100
What size wire is required for 277 volt fluorescent lighting?
Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.
What is the fundamental quantity of electricity indicating the ability to do work of forcing electrons to move?
The Electron Volt. Its the energy required to move one electron through a Potential Difference of one Volt. Commonly used to decribe size of particle accelerators 1 GeV , one Giga electron Volt , 1 X1012 electron Volts.
How much voltage ratings required in transistor?
0.7 volt
What is the minimum required voltage for Air Conditioning?
Min 190 volt and Max 240 volt. Zaman Chittagong, Bangladesh.
Can you use a 6 volt adapter on a 4.5 volt appliance?
No, the voltage from the adapter should match the voltage required by the appliance.
What size service cable is required for 120 volt 150 amp direct bury 400 feet single phase?
A 1000 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 400 feet on a 120 volt system.
