Just bought a 211si need to know what outlet and breaker needed

Hey guys just ordered a 211si and I want to get an electriation out prior to getting the welder so I can start using as soon as I can haha

So does anyone know what breaker and outlet I need for the 240?


Thank you

Welcome, and congrats on the new machine!

Hate to break it to ya like this: your best bet is to download your manual and read about input requirements.

Okay thank you I'll have to try to find it

Didn't mean to sound abrupt. If you'll go to this link

http://www.everlastgenerators.com/pr...si-tig-package

and press the green button labeled Tech Specs you'll find input voltage.

What do you have planned for welding projects?

You can also use a 120v outlet to start practicing until your get the 240v wired up. Good luck!

Oh no I didn't taking it as abrupt at all lol but thank you for the link I went directly there but I'm still not sure on outlet I'll wait I'll it gets here and do exactly like mts211si suggests and just play with it

I've got a 92 Jeep Wrangler I'm putting a 6bt cummins into right now

It has a surge of 33 amps. I would use a 50 amp receptical and use a 40 amp or 50amp breaker. This would allow you to use almost any single phase welder or plasma cutter on the circuit in the future.

I used a 40 amp breaker for mine

Okay awesome thanks everybody I'm gonna call today

Little late here, but I would drop in a 50 amp breaker. So when you want a BIG TIG or Plasma you are set. Or bigger MIG one day. Unless there is a major cost difference.

Hey guys just wanted to thank everyone for their help Im now up and running! (Not perfect but this is my first weld from my new 211si)

Congrats and enjoy!

Work with your inductance to smooth out that spatter.

Thanks guys

Performance when you're referring to inductance I've messed around a bit with my settings but have only gotten more splatter what direction would you recommend if you don't mind me asking...

My setup when I welded that originally was on 3/16" plate @ 17v 220 speed and 15 on the gas gauge while pulling the trigger .030 wire and c25 and at that time I didn't touch inductance settings

I would normally set it about 7...or 70%. A range of 60-80% is what I'd suggest trying. But it seems you have too little voltage.

Okay thank you I'll try changing both and research inductance more lol
