Lanse, sorry Im late, but heres my thoughts:


Every single phase straight 240 (NO 120) volt welder Ive encountered just use 3 wires, 2 hots (red n black) and a Ground (green/bare) soooooooooooooooooooooooooo

If the welder came with that cord and all 4 wires are used?????? my best educated "guess" is its EITHER:


A) A THREE PHASE WELDER (240 or 480 VAC) in
which case: (Of course, it requitres 3 phase)

Red, Black, White are all hots
Green is safety case equipment ground

B) Its a SINGLE PHASE 120/240 WELDER that
uses some 120 volts for controls etc but
240 volts single phase for welding

If it uses all 4 wires and is a 120/240 volt single phase welder, the plug and matching receptacle need to be a 3 pole 4 wire grounding type (4 pins) of the appropriate amperage rating........

WE CANT SAY SITTIN HERE BASED ON YOUR POST IF ITS 120/240 SINGLE PHASE ORRRRRRRRRR 240 OR 480 VAC THREE PHASE

MY PURE GUESS WOULD BE ITS A THREE PHASE WELDER since most 240 welders are straight 240 and dont need or use any 120 (which is when and why a white Neutral is required)

Once you determine the welders input requiremetns its easy to find the correct plug and receptacle well duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
