do I have a big enough electrical service to run my welder
Well I settled on getting the syncrowave 210, and I was just wondering if the electric service I am putting in my shop it big enough. I'm running a 100 amp sub panel to my shop that will come off of the 200 amp service that's at my house

100 amp you could run a nice used 250 syncro or pt 275 much nicer rigs -
It wants to see a max 30 Amp breaker @ 230VAC..Originally posted by DTerpwelding View Post

Some houses are all electric...ie oven, dryer, water heater, house heater, ac systems and the 200 amps is used up quickly. Others have ample reserves. Now the other question is how far is your subpanel going to be from the main panel? That plays a role to. Keep in mind to feed 100 amps to a subpanel #2 or #4 is required and thats for shorter runs..ie under 60ft or so.

Is the new synch an inverter? 100A is good but the old synch took 60.Comment

In my opinion you are good to go since it's an inverter based machine.Originally posted by DTerpwelding View Post

Pat H. The 250 syncrowave pulls a little over 100 amps so by the time you add lights in the building and a possible compressor that might kick on while welding your running short on amps.
However, That is if he's running at maximum amperage.Comment
