Hobart Handler 210 lists an input draw of 24A at it's rated load. I am planning on utilizing my dryer outlet and building an extension cord to convert the plugs and plug in my welder. The dryer circuit has a 30amp breaker on it. I have heard that an extension cord adds to the amps pulled from a breaker the longer it is. Do any electricians in general know how long of an extension cord I can make before the breaker will trip itself?
Do any NC electricians know if there is any code or anything against me swapping out that 30 amp dryer breaker for a 40amp... and is it safe to do so? What about me adding a new breaker entirely and putting a new plug in my garage?
This is in my house if that makes a difference. Not a commercial shop.
