I'm about to buy either a Miller Maxstar 150 stl or Diversion 165. I've done a lot of research and am familiar with the capabilities of both.
My question is the recommendation for the circuit needed for the 165. Looking at specs on miller's website, the 165 draws 25.5 A at 165 A output for 15% duty cycle. I read some posts here saying the machine will run fine on a 30 amp circuit.

The guy at LWS (Praxair) says that it nneeds a 50 amp circuit. Is 30 amps pushing it?
They quoted me same price for 165 and 150 (w/ TIG package including remote).
