Handler 125 Extension Cord Confusion - Weld Talk Message Boards

The outlet I use is 20 amp but all of the extension cords I see are rated 15 amp.

Oct 1, 2015 · "broccoli" even posted a wiring diagram. On the same page as this thread. Look up " 250v mvp plug craziness". 10g is plenty adequate and is what I use as an extension on my Hobart 210 as well as my miller inverter. How long do you need?

Extension cord for Hobart 210 MVP - Weld Talk Message Boards
May 15, 2012 · Look at how you're going to use the machine and decide if the convenience of two cords is worth it. I ran an irrigation pump off two 50 foot cords and the junction failed; went to one 100 foot cord and never looked back. Same for the hijacker - why pay for wire twice. Buy 100 foot of 10 gauge and just change the ends when you upgrade the welder.
