It shouldn't. Check the nameplate for input amperage of the machine. Your #6 wire is good for 60 amps. If the nameplate amperage is below 60 amps then you are good to go.

Would using a 200 foot extension cord which is 6 gauge 3 wire cord on a 220 single phase welder present any problems?

Absolutely, you will have voltage drop, maybe enough voltage drop that the welder will not work <<>> To do a voltage drop calculation for the 200 foot cable the input amperage of the welder needs to be stated. At a maximum distance of 201 feet and limiting the voltage drop to 3% or less, a #6 copper conductor can deliver 37 amps on a 220 volt system. Check the nameplate on the welder to see if it falls withing the range of 37 amps input amperage. Do not use the welders output amperage.

What is the best size wire for a welder extension cord?

The best size wire for a welder extension cord depends on the wattage of the welder and the length of the cord. For most home workshop welders, a 10-gauge wire is a good choice, providing a balance between cost and performance. However, for longer distances or higher power welders, a thicker wire such as 8-gauge may be necessary to prevent voltage drop and ensure safety.


If you have a spa that is 240V with 4 wires can you hook an extension cord from a 240V welder to it to see if it works if the cord only has three wires?

Well, maybe. What is the current rating on the spa circuit? What is the current rating on the welder? If the welder is larger than the outlet, then no. It must be the other way around. If the current ratings are OK, then yes. Your welder doesn't need 110V so it doesn't connext to neutral. Connect the hot leads to hot and ground to ground.


What size wire for a welding extension cord 220v 50 amps?

For a 220V 50A welder, you would need a minimum of 6-gauge wire for your extension cord to ensure it can handle the current safely. It's recommended to use a heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension cord with appropriate wire gauge and length to avoid voltage drop and overheating.
