Why do you suspect it's the wrong one? Do you have any pics or part numbers? How did you diagnose that the amp meter isn't working?... -
I was thinking the same as the 'berry. Check the breaker itself, and you hopefully have a 20A circuit, even though the receptacles themselves on the circuit are a 15A configuration. They only need to be a 20A configuration when they are the only outlet on the circuit.Leave a comment:

Are you using the same shielding gas and polarity for the solid SS wire as for the flux-cored SS wire? You aren't telling us exactly what brand and designation of each wire, so we can't look up the correct parameters. We don't want to assume "all are correct." We've been doing this too...Leave a comment:

You know more than you are telling us, so we'll just have to make assumptions. At what settings were you doing this welding? When you stopped after 1-2 feet of continuous welding, for how long did you allow the machine to rest before the next long continuous weld?
So yes, it's very likely...Leave a comment:

Portable power supplies should have as little variation in power demand as possible, even when within the designed output. Generators will surge with load changes, unlike a relatively infinitely large power supply like the utility grid.Leave a comment:

Even when the generator can do it, try to set things up to start individual motors sequentially instead of at the same time. If you can.Leave a comment:

Might help us if you included from whom you ordered it.Leave a comment:

It's a very dated AC-only transformer-based welding machine for SMAW (Stick welding). It's probably very reliable and useful, but not going to be worth much (I'm guessing $100-200) and very expensive to ship somewhere which cuts your market down to local pick-up only.Leave a comment:

Oh, and BTW, every generator (including engine-driven welding machines) I've seen with a 50A receptacle, has it as a NEMA 14-50R configuration, to include the neutral, and not just a NEMA 6-50R for other welding machines. So, you'd still be using an adapter.Leave a comment:

Amico, il tuo programma di traduzione fa schifo.Leave a comment:

I'll bet if you took the time to post a picture or tell us exactly what receptacle the 30A generator in question has (NEMA #), we would be a lot better at finding you the correct adapter, or tell you how to make it....Leave a comment:

****. Dale actually nailed one.Leave a comment:

Yep, and one with a variable elbow, too. Nice.Leave a comment:

For the same weight, angle is the better structural material and a lot easier to joint, plus gives you a constant place to put a strap hook. Unless you need the tubing for some other reason, I'd go with a milled stock instead of the tubed and seam-welded one.Leave a comment:

But to clarify, it all worked fine last week?...Leave a comment:
