And if I can get some ideas from you guys it would be GREAT!
1-I am NOT going with the power correction, so we know I will be running 6/3 on a 100amp breaker (maybe lower if you guys think its better for what I need)
2-I would like to run the welder from a plug so I can use the receptacle for an air compressor. I don't know if I can yet, because 100amp may not be safe to run the compressor off of. I think it runs off 50amp line if run just for the compressor. Does anyone know if this is okay? p.s. I will run them one at a time, thats why I need the plugs.
3-Since I want to run off a plug/receptacle where did you guys get yours? The 100amp plug/receptacles are $100-$300 each!

I quoted you Justin because you say you run a plug. But if anyone can answer these for me it sure would help me out to tell the electrician what I want and need.
THANKS!
