CG,

NO !!!!!

You will be in serious danger of electrocuting yourself !!!

When you plug in one of your cords, you have live male pins on the other end.

STOP !!!

Okay, now that I've calmed down, here's what you need to do.

You need the male plug on the welder and a mating female receptacle on each of your cords.
In fact, if your welder cord is long enough to reach its dedicated 50 amp outlet, you only need the one cord for 120 volt operation.

I'm sure he's going to plug the adapter to the welder cord first, but it would have been better to have the male end on the machine.

Yes, but Murphy's Law is lurking, waiting to pounce.
Those cords are a danger. Why tempt fate ?

Absolutely.

Now @ CG, kill those pics lest someone comes to grief in their quest for Liberty and the pursuit of Shockiness.

Thanks,

Yes I am but I get it. Never thought about it but that could be dangerous.

That does look like a nice deal. These dual voltage machines are quite interesting... But he does have the plugs already.

The double ended ones look pretty spooky....

BTW what voltage are you going to use when you hook it up to the generator??? The 220 plugs have a 4 pin twist lock on the generator.

Had me kind of curious when you showed X and Y on the twist lock.... A 3 phase plug????? Mine 3 phase plugs I thought were 4 pin with ground.

BTW when you were asking about wiring up connectors, when I replied I thought you were asking something different... I always wanted to put a square metal box on the end of an extension cord. That way you could plug in your welder and then have an extra couple 110 outlets for a grinder or such.

That is a 240 VAC single phase plug - 2 poles and a ground.

Where were you a couple pages ago... I've got $100 in what I have now

Yes, but try putting a dollar value on the practical experience you (and the rest of us) got out of the deal!

never could see why darn plugs are so expensive
