30 amp breaker for PM205

[www]

Mark is there any chance of ordering the unit with a 20 foot 10 gauge cord? If I can get the unit with a 20 foot cord I wont have to worry about an extension cord and I think 20 feet will do the trick......thanks wayne

SO much controversy over power cords.
Here's what I ended up doing..

Switch over (everything)to the NEMA 6-50 plugs, what’s commonly referred to as a NEMA welder plug, (it's what the Big M puts on there’s) here's a link to 25' 8/3 cord with molded on 6-50p and 6-50r lighted ends, rated at 50A for pretty cheep. ($66)The male ends can be found on Amazon as well for about $12. the L14-30 plugs are commonly used on generators if you go that route but they are only 'rated' at 30A. If you want over 50A it's a big step to something like a Hubble 4100 (100A) like a couple hundred bucks for the connectors.

Just MHO. Take it or leave it.

Woha, here's another for only $50 with a right angle connector on the wall end.

Wayne,

No, there is no option. Power cords on units are configured for amps and voltage with certain lengths and duty cycles. This is part of CSA and CE standards. It has a considerable length on the cord now. A lot of name brand units do not have the length we have.

The best solution, is the more expensive one and the safest. Install additional outlets within the proximity of where the machine will be used the most.

That will be my next step. The old plugs I use are hard to get anymore. I like the price on the extension cord, so I think I will do they same. I have about 7 50 amp plugs at $22 each. Ouch.

A regular 6-50 plug should be in the neighborhood of 15-22 bucks locally. The receptacle may actually be cheaper for some reason where I am.
