Cryslr 03-11-2002, 07:48 AM My 220V oulet isn't real close to were I need to weld most of the time. So how long can my extension cord be without effecting my welder? I need about 40 feet, but the wire is FAT stuf for big amp machines. So is 40 feet to long? POS w/Potential 03-11-2002, 08:06 AM We just made an extension cord for our Miller and it's 30 feet long, with no noticable difference. I've heard you can make them up to a hundred feet or so for farmers. So it should be fine. Jus t use a thick cable like a 10 3. Old Scout 03-11-2002, 08:08 AM I run My Miller 210 on 40' of 10-3. I bought all the stuff at Home Depot for ~55.00. morpheus 03-11-2002, 09:16 AM i have a 40' one that i made out of 8-3 got it at the local welding supply place as a drop for $1 a foot. :D - jack EasyXJ 03-11-2002, 11:12 AM I use an 8-3 that I made from junk at the local hardware store. It's 35', didn't notice any difference. Easy ErikB 03-11-2002, 04:07 PM 50' of 10/3 plus plugs, etc. for about $50 from Home Depot works well for my Miller 175. :) Cutter 03-11-2002, 06:28 PM 25' 8-3 Home Depot, a couple of plugs to match the dryer outlet and yer in bidness:D I need to go to 50', 25' isn't as long as it sounds... | |
