The big green thing is the welder, it has a 400A max ouptut and I think has a 100% duty cycle.


Wow. In contrast, my little Lincoln 140HD does 140 amps ... at 20% duty cycle.


I lied ....so I guess I'm qualified to be president!

I just looked up my welder and its only 60% @300A

The reason I looked it up is because I just learned something important about wiring welders...you get to use smaller wire than normal. There is a special section of the code (630.11) that gives you a multiplier based on the duty cycle to apply to the load the wire sees. So for me I take 112A x 0.78=87.4 and the 4g I'm using good and not even cheating. The breaker can be up to 200% the wire rating. I need to look a bit closer at my weld as it might have capacitors in it that drop the max draw to 86A which would let me run a 6g....who knew?

Found the owner's manual for my welder and it says 3g wite and a 150A time delay fuse......so I'm back to my wire being undersize, oh well....

Thanks....and I think except for some cleaning up it done....2 hours turned into all day but the shelves are built and have 2 coats of paint.

I shouldn't be but I'm amazed at how much brighter the shop it now that everything is painted.....kind of wish I'd painted the old shop.

Small job this morning....the top of the stairs was missing a piece. It still needs paint but I glued it and want that dry before i cover it up.
