You will need a 50 amp breaker for the welder you have. Go to your local electric store. They will set you up with enough service wire and an exterior receptical. Or , you can just build a little roof over the receptical you have. That is if you have one already. You might want to double check what I'm about to say. If I remember right , it takes the same receptical as an electric dryer. You might want to attach a small box to the side of your house , approx: 2 foot deep x 4 foot wide x 4 foot high. Put a shed type roof on it , along with some kind of door. Put your welder , receptical , helmet , rod , tools , etc. in the box. While your at it , you might want to even put a 110 receptical in the box , so that you can run a grinder , etc. , should you need to.Insulate the box and put a light on the ceiling. You will be able to see , should you need to do something at night time. You can even plug in a small electric heater with a thermostat on it. That will keep the rod dryer. If you do a nice job on this project , it will look good and work very well. Everything I had just told you is what I had done myself. This will get you by untill you put up a building to use as a shop , which is also what I had done.
