I just got my Maxstar 150. Powercord is about the size one would expect on say a router. It has a 3 prong grounded style connector on the end (0,90 blades on the supply). The instructions recomend a 30 amp supplied receptical, yet the cord size is nowhere near 30 amp capacity, and the electric supply spots I have tried, don't have recepticals in that configuration in larger sizes than 20 amp.
Further, one can connect this unit to 110, but it won't connect with the supplied plug, I can make a pigtail, but I'm wondering if there is a better approach to all of this?
The chance of finding an electrician around here who understands inverter welders is zero. There are tons of great welding shops around here, and by and large they didn't understand the inverter technology either. Heck I finaly found one who did, and gave me great price and service. Today the clerk offered me some free filler rod with the question "so are you going to be welding mostly aluminum", my jaw literaly dropped.
