Insurance claims in the case of a fire, whether or not it was caused by the welder, may not be paid if you're not up to code...happened to someone I know.
Haha took me forever to remember my account name and then figure out how to change my password! Off topic for sure but hey. Oh well. I'm back. Hopefully a build thread soon enough.
Regarding this Hobart 190 220v. Just so I'm clear this is the same house 220v my clothes dryer runs off?
A standard household electric dryer uses a double 20 amp breaker. The Hobart 190 needs a double 30 amp breaker. You may also need to upgrade the gauge of wire as well.

yep,, My 190 220v welder is running off the same plug in that the dryer uses.
The breaker is a double pole 40a. My tank less water heater uses 200a and is running off three 50amp D.P breakers.
Check the dryer breaker amp rating. And like has been said you my need an adapter plug. I was lucky and my plug was the same.
My house has 200a service to it. You might want to check and see what you get, just ask the power company.
Whoops I'm a tard I spoke before looking.. My dryer is on a 50aDP.
The electrician must of done that since I use my welder on it.
I had one come in when I did the tank less water heater and check my wiring and showed him the welder I was going to use on the plug in.
I swear I saw it saying 40a last time I looked, guess Im just getting old lol
hmm isnt 50a to much for a dryer? what if my dryer effs up? I might just need to get the dryer back on its own circuit.
This is from one of my 190a 220v welder before you start instructions. It seems yes a 50a it whats needed for this amp/volt of welder.
So a 30amp dryer breaker isnt a good idea.
VVVV
This thread needs more pics, so here is my contribution. I generally run .035 but switched to .030 recently. This is the first test pass with the new wire. I'm running a Lincoln Powermig 215, 75/25 mix and .030 wire.
