Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to wire my welder from the breaker box. The manual for the welder says to run 10 gauge for runs less than a 100'. My breaker box in the basement is about 80 feet from where I would like to put the outlet on the opposite garage wall.
So, anyone familiar with the electric codes ? If I run 80 feet of 10 gauge for the 230Volt welder, do I use a 30 amp dual breaker ? I have an electrician friend who can inspect the wiring, but he knows nothing about welders.
Thanks,
Kevin
