Need help wiring a male cap

[Chain Bender]

Your manual.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

thanks, Willl. I think we must have found the file about the same time.


115 volt ..............230 volt
ground.............green..................green
neutral.............white
hot..................black L1..............black L1, red L2
tied off wire......red.....................white

only problem with the above chart is that I have a brown and blue wire where the chart and other diagrams mention white and red.

Reminds me of the problem I had with a trailer brake harness several months ago.

all 4 wirews are hooked up.

yellow/green isn't in the picture, but it is ground.

If I am correct I should be able to wire the welder to a 4 prong cap (in previous post) and plug it in to the 120/240 30 amp receptacle of my welder or any other receptacle so wired and be able to switch the machine back and forth between 115 & 230 volts.

Right or wrong?

Just a little more wisdom please.

I would like to just wire the little machine to straight 230 using a 3 wire 12/3. (white,black,green). would someone tell me (using the pictures above) which wires from the new cord I need to swap out with what existing wires (blue,brown,black,green). If I understand everything I think I know, then the male cap would be green/ground and balck/white hot legs. Am I correct?

thanks much,
Chain Bender

Lee you ask hard questions.

Recently When I started a electric project that included a very old electric panel and unusual connectors, I took lots of pictures with the iphone and took the phone to the local friendly electric supply house.

They hooked me up pretty quick and didn't make fun of my lack of knowledge.

Stay dry bro

I agree RC, but I don't have an I-phone or a smart phone. Probably be easier to just pick the welder up and put it in the back of my truck and take it to the store with me.

How's that "dry heat" treatin you out there? It's 95/95 yesterday and today. To hot to take a nap in the shade!


good to hear from you.

Whats heat? we've had 14 days (of the last 20 days ) of torrential rain. temps in the 40's - 60's.

Today was the first partially clear day in the past week. and it only got to the mid 60's.

we could use some sun and heat.
