I know I already used one coupon this month, so sue me.
I bought an old SA 200 welder with a 1.75 kw rated plug for tools. This is
stated in the Lincoln download manual. The current available is 15 amps,
per manual.
I am interested if I can run a 110v. Lincoln 140 MIG on that circuit. The
required amperage at FULL LOAD is 20 amps. I do not see any breakers on the
SA 200, so don't know what type of protection they have on there if a larger
than acceptable load is put on that circuit. Also, there are two plugs on
the machine. Any way to wire the two together to up the amperage? (maybe
that's the third dumb question ...........)
Can I just use a tester and check the voltage and amperage on those plugs
with the machine running? For the electricital whizzes out there, what does
1.75 kw convert to in layman's terms?
Could I use this intermittently on a very short duty cycle for wrought iron
repairs, or even look for a smaller machine that has less current draw? Is
there such a thing? This would be for small .065" tubing repairs.
If absolutely necessary, I can use the DC part of the welder and 3/32" 6011
DCSP.

I recall that utility outlet provided 110V DC, not AC, if that is indeed
the case, the answer is "no, no, hell no".

Please log in for more thread options That's what Lincoln "LN-25" is for.
It is a wire feed that gets its power from across the arc and can run
from a CC source.

Does this mean if you downloaded two more manuals, you could run 45 amps?

Would that be series or parallel?
