In this case Reidy, IMO, I think it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission from local government. What kind of voltage/freq do you run in the land of OZ? I'll check with the Chief later today about hooking it up over there, as we have 3 Miller Syncrowaves, and he knows an awful lot about them. That's what he used on the ships in the Navy as well.
Most welders require a 50 amp service minimum whether . You WILL NOT want to run an adapter on your welder and just plug it into your wall outlet of 15 amps. You'll trip the breaker all the time unless you just weld at very low amps like maybe 30 -40 amps. Oz uses 240V 50Hz in all residential wiring. The US uses 220-240V 50Hz also but not for residential wiring ,we use 120-130V 50Hz. There is NO issue running your US welder in the land of Oz other than you will need a higher capacity 50 amp outlet and the associated 8 Ga. so wiring leading from main panel to the outlet .
Yeah Fabr I was looking around yesterday and found that there are all sorts of ways to run em you can go 415 volts 60 amps also single phase 240 volts as well as three phase, I guess it would depend on how you want it to perform hey? I just wanted to know what's involved to change it to run, firstly here in OZ, so it's Australian Standards compliant and what I have to do to change it from it's current format to the way I want it hooked up. I mean I know I'll have to change the power plug and chord, and I'm pretty certain I'll have to change something inside the machine, weather or not I'll have to fork over a large sum of cash so as to have it Australian Standards compliant remains to be seen but that's what I'm tipping, cause I really should have been a good boy and gone through a reputable dealer and paid them a large sum of money.
No,it will perform the same no matter what input voltage you use.
Yeah I sorta figured I'd have to go three phase,
Reidy,it is apparent you haven't a clue about electricity. Due to that I'm not going to say anything more than -get an electrician to run a circuit of proper amp capacity before you kill yourself.I've told you all you need to know-IF you understood electricity. Since you don't-HIRE A PRO .
+1
You don't think maybe something got lost in the translation ya smartarse!
