Re: Ext. cord for mig. welder

Hi guys,when I ran my hobart 180 mig I had a 50foot run to my garage.I used 8gauge,3wire underground "romex" I then ran the wire thru electric pvc,cemented joints and put it about 1' deep. now all I do is unplug my dryer and plug in my welders,I've checked voltage and get 230v at garage plug. also I had a 50amp breaker put in. everything works great,I' single so dryer only gets used a couple of times a month Seabee
