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 capacity elcb is to be used for 50Amp welding machine?

For a 50 Amp welding machine, it is recommended to use an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) with a capacity of at least 63 Amps to ensure it can handle the load safely. Additionally, the ELCB should have a sensitivity rating of 30 mA to provide adequate protection against earth faults. Always consult local electrical codes and a qualified electrician to ensure compliance and safety.


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.

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 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.
