I have 3 machines now, a 200DX, I-MIG200, and a Power Plasma 60.
I was thinking of building the cart, then adding 3 metal plug boxes on the back that all the machines can plug into. Then having a extension cord go from that to a plug to the wall outlet.
Since I will only have one machine running at a time, I would never overload the breaker.
What you guys think?
Sounds like a good plan
Similar to what I'm about to do. I'm running some 110 outlets to the front of my cart, also an air distro block (going to take a 50' hose and make some shorter hoses). 240 on the back to plug machines into, with a switch up front so I don't have to reach behind the machines to flip them on.
Are you going to use a contactor to do the switching?
I've gotten lazy with electrical... Going to tell my electrician what I want to do and see what he shows up with :) Most likely an industrial grade fused box. Nice big red handle with lockout capability on the side. He doesn't half-### anything, so it'll be exactly what I need, even if I don't know what that is yet.Quote:
