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 must be checked before using the 110-volt power plug on a portable welder?
Before using the 110-volt power plug on a portable welder, you should check if the plug is compatible with the power outlet, ensure the wiring is in good condition and properly connected, and verify that the welder's power requirements do not exceed the capacity of the power source.
How can you connect a welder to a dryer receptacle?
First you need to know that an electric dryer is almost always a 30 amp 220 Volt power supply. Most small welders require a 50 amp 220 volt power supply. Check your welder's power requirement. If it requires 50 amps, it'll never work correctly on 30 amp.The plug conversion is simple. The wire your dryer is powered by will have two "hot" legs, the red and black wires. These supply the 220 volt. Then it has a ground (bare copper or green conductor. And last it has a white wire, the neutral.Your 3 prong plug on your welder only requires the two "hot" legs and the ground wire. You shunt the neutral white wire with a wire nut.
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.
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?
For a 220 volt circuit at 54 amps, you would need a wire rated for at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) size to handle the current safely. It's always recommended to consult with a licensed electrician or refer to local electrical codes for specific requirements.
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 is the required wire size for a 230 feet run 480 volt 100 amp?
Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.
What is the recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart?
The recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart is typically 10 gauge wire for a circuit with a maximum of 30 amps.
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.
