linkspast Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 So I have a welder that needs 220. The only 220v outlet in the house in for the dryer. the prongs on the cords look Different. and I bought a Dryer cord. My question is Could I attach the prongs for the dryer cord I bought to the welder, and would it work fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phill Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 If you want to do it safely, I would suggest putting in another 220 breaker and put in a proper socket for the welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effef Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yeha but comon we all know safety=money I am poor. Lack of safety also = you getting busted by 220v Also im pretty sure it would be against any sort of housing code to rig a setup like that.

phill Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 other then a few building code violations.....safety = not having 60 amps pumped through your body killing you good. And really, you should be able to get a 220v breaker, socket and enough wire to run where you nee for 20-30 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
