The breaker is for short circuit protection which is altogether different than overload protection. The breaker is just there for isolation while performing maintenance and to trip during a dead short. The welder's internal protection provides the thermal overload protection. Primary conductor varies with the welder's duty cycle. If the welder has a 60% duty cycle and a 106Amp primary. Then max primary amps of 106 X .78 =82.68 amp conductor. The max breaker size is 200% of the conductor size. So #2 SOW cable will be required for the welder's flexable cord. And #4 RW75 copper is fine from the breaker panel to the welder plug. A 150amp breaker should be fine and 175A is legal. Your welder sounds a lot like my Hobart unit.
