He'll move a couple of circuits from the original main panel to the sub so he can install a 100 Amp breaker in the empty spot to feed the sub-panel.<br /><br />I'll check out the current draw on welders, and then discuss it with him.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-71639163430672900302018-04-15T12:03:13.632-07:002018-04-15T12:03:13.632-07:00Got my two-tones to the floorboard, Mudhead!Got my two-tones to the floorboard, Mudhead!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-12995681224036310982018-04-15T04:22:33.235-07:002018-04-15T04:22:33.235-07:00Just in case, did you check with your electrician ...Just in case, did you check with your electrician on what the amperage requirement is for a welding machine like the Lincoln 225? <br />Unless the cost is prohibitive, it might be better to go a bit overboard.<br />It is rare, but every once in a while I need to weld something very thick. <br />The fifty amp subpanel in our garage feeds a 5 horsepower two stage aircompressor, (it was a close-out, and yes it pumps more air than I need, but it was an Ingersoll, and I mentioned it was on sale!) and the panel also supplies 50 amps for the Lincoln AC only welder and a MIG weldor.<br />The MIG welder trips a 15 amp breaker, and it runs fine on a 20 amp.<br /><br /><br /><br />John in Phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196033252818387245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-54605661269086295632018-04-15T04:22:27.923-07:002018-04-15T04:22:27.923-07:00Nice Firesign Theater reference there, Porgie........Nice Firesign Theater reference there, Porgie.............taminator013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-80630870708433215042018-04-14T18:49:49.059-07:002018-04-14T18:49:49.059-07:00I'll only punch on the Afterburner late at nig...I'll only punch on the Afterburner late at night......drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-470154869787066762018-04-14T18:24:33.444-07:002018-04-14T18:24:33.444-07:00Are you certain the neighborhood power grid is up ...Are you certain the neighborhood power grid is up to the task?Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.com
