Not successfully. It is designed to work with the higher current so it would blow the breaker on a 10 amp circuit.

No, you should not run a 15 amp MIG welder on a 10 amp circuit. The welder requires a 15 amp circuit to operate safely and effectively. Running it on a lower amperage circuit can result in overheating, tripping the circuit breaker, or damaging the welder. It's important to use the appropriate power source for your welding equipment to prevent accidents and equipment damage.

How do I wire a single phase 120 amp 230 volt flux and mig welder to a 200 amp panel?

To wire a single-phase 230-volt welder to a 200 amp panel, you will need a dedicated double-pole 40 amp breaker in the panel. Run appropriately sized wires (likely 8 AWG copper) from the breaker to the welding machine, following all local electrical codes and regulations. Make sure to install the necessary grounding and wiring connections as outlined in the welder's manual.


Can you use 10-3 with 30 amp breakers at 90 foot to run a 225 amp max arc welder?

No, using 10-3 wire with 30 amp breakers is not suitable for running a 225 amp arc welder. The wire size and breaker amperage should be appropriately matched to the current requirements of the welder to ensure safety and prevent overheating of the wire. In this case, a larger wire size and breaker amperage would be needed to support the 225 amp maximum draw of the welder.


Will a 7000 starting amps and 10500 running amps run a 78 amp furnace?

In the electrical trade the only time there is a reference to start and running amps is when dealing with motors. The running amps is always lower than the starting amps. A 78 amp electric furnace will take a 100 amp service for it to operate and be within the electrical code guide lines.


Can you change an European 15 amp plug to 10amp plug?

No, you cannot change a 15 amp plug to a 10 amp plug directly. The amp rating of a plug is determined by the internal wiring and components, so changing the plug alone will not change the amp rating. It is recommended to use the correct amp plug for the specific electrical requirements.


Can you connect 2 amps to run a subwoofer?

If your sub is 2 ohms and your amp is 2 ohm stable, your done. Your amp will be at 2 ohms because the sub is 2 ohms.

Will a 230 v welder work with 2 30 amp fuses?

That depends entirely on the current draw of the welder. A small welder will work fine with 30 amp fuses, but make certain that the house wire is at least 10 Ga if you'll be running 30 amps through it. If you're putting 30 amps through any wire smaller than 10 Ga, you run a very high risk of burning your house down. If you aren't completely conversant with electrical codes and applications, you should consult with a qualified electrician or handyman (although some would argue about the handyman) You may THINK that contracting out electrical work is expensive, but having your house burn down is FAR MORE expensive.


What size wire do you need for 440 three phase welder on an eight foot run?

The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?
