John, If I paid someone to wire something critical, I would want them to wire to code.
Has anyone looked inside a 225 lincoln to see the size of wires they used?
Sometimes companies play a numbers game. Remember when B&S got into trouble overrating their motors..
When it comes to rating electronic power You have RMS Watts, Peak Watts, and Peak to peak watts.. Same with amps. Please check my numbers below. Example; 1 watt rms = 1.414 peak watts = 2.828 peak to peak watts.
Same with amps. 1 amp rms = 1.141 peak amps = 2.828 peak to peak amps.
Are welders playing the same numbers game with amps? Using the larger numbers? 100 amps rms = 141 peak amps = 282 peak to peak amps?
I know the welding leads can no way handle 225 amps, too small. They look like they may be able to handle 100 amps.
What size wire is used to make the transformer? Is the primary made of 8g copper? Is the secondary wire capable of 225 amps.
Has anyone measured the actual primary and secondary amps?
Don't always believe what you read.
What about the wire size for the Lincoln 225 welder? Now that we have decided 60A is an ideal circuit breaker for this welder, choosing the right size of wire should not be a big issue. The #10 wires are mostly recommended for the welder.
However, there is a small chance that you will need to buy #8 wires. This is only because the manufacturer recommends a 60A circuit breaker with a #10 wire and not #8. So, if it happens that you need to buy #8 wires for your welder, then by all means go for it.
Don't believe what you read. 60 amp breaker on a 30 amp 10g wire.
Has anyone put an amprobe on their 225 lincoln? Has anyone looked inside their lincoln welder? Are the people making welders playing a numbers gain? I don't know.
Do places over rate horsepower? I have a 4 hp craftsman electric chainsaw that uses 15 amps. How did they cook those numbers?? 4 peak to peak HORSEPOWER? I think my shop vac hp may be overrated.
