I just got a millermatic 175 welder. 230v, 19.5 amps. I'm going to make an extension cord for it and was wondering what guage wire I should use. Is 12ga enough? (going about 30 feet, just enough to get all the way around the garage, and into the driveway a bit)
Also, the dryer outlet is neutral grounded. Should I use it as is or add a second outlet with a real ground? |

Exactally. It's a combination of CSOB syndrome, needing to adapt the dryer outlet, and that the dryer (and fuse panel) are on the other side of the garage. But that's a better price on the 25 ft extension than the $90 that I saw. Jon |
