Hi Fella's,
I have an old CIG Transarc Tradesman 230 amp stick welder that trips the 15 amp circuit breaker on a 240 vlt supply. I checked the current draw and it was 30 amps. The welder seems to weld fine until the circuit breaker trips. The previous owner had the same trouble. I was wondering if the welder may be wired incorrectly for 240 vlt and may be possibly wired for 480vlt single phase?. I'm not sure if this welder is a duel voltage type as there is no wiring details at the power connections . I can provide some more details of the wiring connections as it stands now if some one needs them to help me with the problem.
