Made an adapter for my dry outlet.

4 prong to the 3 prong welder cord.

Wired both hots from the 4 prong to the single hot on the 3 Prong.

Will it work?

Plug it in and find out...

In all seriousness, you should really run a dedicated line.

Code requirements vary, but most require a 50 amp breaker for welder use. Make sure your welder meets code for your area. IF you have a fire, and the adjuster comes out and sees it is amiss, guess what? No payout. This is no area to dick around.

Run a dedicated circuit with the proper outlets.

Hmmm okay. The dryer is a 240v and and the welder is 220.
On the welder specs it says 22 amp.
Idk lol

Mr. Pink

i'd listen to Roni, he's a welder by trade. I would also like he said run a dedicated circuit just for the welder with a 50amp breaker just to play it safe when/if you have an incident. yes there is a high initial cost but it's worth the piece of mind.

You cannot connect 2 hots to one lug or it will go caboom. 3 wire system you have 2 hots and one neutral/ground. 4 wire system you have 2 hots and separate lugs for neutral and ground but again you cannot hook 2 hots together.

Yea, double hots on one connection will let the sparks and smoke out.
