Welder power cable relacement

[paul2112]

Does anyone make a replacement power-cable for a welder 220V with a premolded end,say 5' long? Thanks

What machine? Ground or positive lead? What do you mean by pre molded end?


Sorry, you mean the wall outlet plug? Depends on what type of outlet you have. 30A, 50A or ??

If it uses the common "kiln plug" (my Miller does) you can get one from a kiln supplier like below...though one might be available elsewhere for less $$$

Thanks, thanks it exactly

That is way better than the cord that came on it.

Welders come with 50. I clicked on the link for giggles, yes, way pricey.

Check out "range" cords at your favorite Big Box store. Usually 4 wire now a days.

A range cord is not a welder cord.

How is a range cord different than a welding machine cord, as long as they are V and A compliant?

If you read the first post you'd see the OP is looking for a replacement welder cord with a molded end already factory installed on it. Ranges and welders use different receptacles.

Pins on the plugs are different. When I converted my compressor to 220V, I ordered a spare "AC225" cord from Lincoln, as it was cheaper than making up my own and it came with that moulded plug.

Ranges and welders use different receptacles.

Only if they differ in their voltage or amperage needs. Besides the need for a twist-lock, there is no other reason for differences in configurations. Most ranges are 120/240, while welding machines are most often 240, but we don't know what kind of machine the OP has.

They do differ in their voltage requirements, you stated that in your own post. What part of this don't you understand? You are only adding unnecessary confusion to the OP's thread.

Most is not all. What part of that don't you understand?

You're a lost cause.

The OP already mentioned he needed a cord with a 6-50P on it. If you want to try and prove there is a range out there somewhere that uses the same cord, have at it.

I'm out.

But you to responded to posts after #3, where the answer was given. So you just needlessly muddied the waters.

Call the local weld shop or a place in town that repairs welders. They have them. I know my LWS carries them for right under $40 IIRC. They are just the factory replacement cords.

I don't believe any modern welders come with anything but a 6 50 P
