OK - it's time - need the welder... I need to fix the snow thrower I bought... and now - the broken bush hog too! Time to bite the bullet... but before I can post cool welded project pics - I need to get the welder running...
But here's the thing - the manual online for the welder I'm getting says: (http://www.hobartwelders.com/om/0900/o950b_hob.pdf - section 4.6)
Input Amperes At Rated Output - 47.5
Max Recommended Standard Fuse Rating In Amperes - 50
Min Input Conductor Size In AWG - 12
Uhh - am I missing something here? AWG 12 is rated to 20A... Houston Wire & Cable Company - NEC Table 310.16
