30amp welder

Commdiver

Hi guy's I'm new to this and new to welding, my question is. I just bought a portable arc welder and it needs a 30 amp plug for it to work. Can I get a portable extension or do I have to rewire my shed so I can only weld in my shed?

Thanks for all the help.

Ayuh,... As long as you're suppling 30 amps, it really don't matter How it gets there....

You would probably need to put a 30 amp outlet in and wire it accordingly.
You would need to make a 30 amp extension cord.

Welcome commdiver, to the best DIY'r site on the web.

If you did make up a 30 amp extension cord, where would you connect it?

You would still need a 30 amp plug (male and female) or are you asking to just wire directly to a breaker on a sub panel.

Either way will work, as long as the circuit, wire and breaker are all rated appropriately.
