Wiring up my 250ex

[DaveO]

The clothes dryer is a 30 amp outlet, and the manual (for the PP256, at least) calls for a 50 amp outlet. Will a welder work properly out of a dryer socket? Is this bringing a knife to a gunfight?

The kitchen range / stove is 50 amps but I'm pretty sure my wife would draw the line at me welding in the kitchen.

Well actually our stove is in the bedroom. This makes it easier for the wife to bring me breakfast in bed. Also I like to weld in bed too.

Ok no, the welder is not in the kitchen. The breaker box is in the garage and my welder is wired into the same breaker as the stove. I can't cook and weld at the same time. My welder is only about 8 feet from my breaker box.

It's official; I'm going to spend the $60 or so to have my system checked out and change my line to breaker wires to 5's and that such stuff.
You are all making it sound WAAAAYYY too easy. I am going to buy a factory built extension cord and I'm NOT doing any of the wiring myself. I'd like to have the nice clean HF and the correct voltages....
