Using 110v power in. I'll be using aproxamately 40amps to weld.How big shoud my circuit breaker be?

I find that the most efficient way to use mine is to power it with my generator instead of using my house.

You probably shouldn't be messing around with electrical if you don't know the difference between a NEMA 6-50 plug with 8/3 wire vs. a 120 plug on your welder, you're going to get yourself hurt.

Power is commonly expressed in amps or watts but never in volts. You are asking about voltage and it is 110-120 maximum for the device you showed... All stuff like this for 224-240 volts will have a special/different plug configuration that will not allow it to plug into this splinter device or into a 110-220 volt outlet either. This thing you are asking about is most often used by people who wish to plug in more cords or devices than a single outlet will allow. This device will allow three cords or devices to be plugged in at the same time. Just don't exceed the power rating of your circuit breaker, fuse or extension cord or you will either pop the circuit breaker, blow the fuse or start a fire by melting the insulation off your extension cord if its conductors [wire size] is too small to carry the load but not enough to trip your circuit breaker or blow your fuse! I do not mean to insult you but I can't believe you even asked this question so do not get hurt or burn down your house... it can be dangerous. Still, I am glad to see you had the brains to ask about this before doing something you might be sorry about. Often the store clerk can give you help like this as long as you stick to the guy or gal in the electrical department at LOWES. I hope this helps you, BuzGuy

I put in a 40 amp breaker for this unit, but have th jumpers set to 5000 watts and have never needed to run it on high in my 3 car insulated garage, so a 30 amp breaker would have worked.

my machine will run fine on 20 amp breaker on 50 ft. cord . amazing. You also can weld aluminum with this machine D.C. straight polarity with helium.

Standard here in USA is 120 volts for a normal household plug if I remember correctly. I work in a tool shop and a 220 volt plug is what we use for a 170 Amp welder which is the equivalent of what we use for our household laundry dryers.

Just so that I understand, this runs on both LP and 110ACV? How hard is it to run the wiring to a circuit breaker?

40 amp should be swapped with another 40 amp. Raising 10 amps could cause damage to whatever u are trying to protect with the breaker. I used mine on my boat.

I welded .100" mild with it with no problem off of 110V, but 3/16" is going to be iffy. Per the calculator on Millerwelds.com you would need between 120 and 200 amps. 120A is doable on 110V, 200A is probably not.So... maybe. Depends on your how many amps you can get out of your 110V outlet and on your technique.

That's all I ever used it on. I had no problem tripping the breaker even at almost 100 amps. It is a nice welder.

I have a large 220 v compressor but I believe a 110 would be ok. It takes the same amount of pressure as a house drywall texture gun. The included gun is basically a texture gun. With a smaller compressor you may have to take breaks at let compressor fill.

110 plugs right into your standard outlet. I run it off the same 20AMP circuit I run my little 110 wire feed welder off of and works fine.

This great tig welder, will use house whole amps, I'm using 110 volts, on a 20 amp broker, this EverLast will out do and last a long time.

I have not welded 3/16" with the welder. I can tell you that the max amps on 120v is 124Amps. You can see if this is sufficient if you plug your info into a welding calculator. It would not be an issue on 220v and 200amps. It is a great welder.

I have been using it with a 30amp and it pops it when I am welding steel bike frames. Lighter metal may not need much amperage though.

You can do either provided that your breaker can handle the load. You'll need at least a 15 amp breaker with nothing else on it for both on 110v. I would recommend running them on separate breakers for the pupose of redundancy. If one pops the other will still be up and going. The only benefit to running on 220v is pulling fewer amps. The difference in your electric usage is negligible.

110. Just make sure it is on a 20 amp breaker. Works great! Worth the extra cash, actually gets HOT.
