TaigaNo, 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.
