01-21-2007, 05:37 PM. If you can't afford a new welder, be prepared for some sticker shock on extension cord prices. I just bought a 10g 100' cord at Home Depot for $96 + tax. Add on another $20-$40 to that for the proper ends and you have a very expensive extension cord. SOO (600v) cord will cost even more than that.
I would like to make a extension cord for my Hobart 210 MVP Welder, 230 volt. Is it possible to make it 75'? I was going to use 8/3 cord for this? Will this work? Thanks ~Gage~
If you're needing a 25' extension cord then 8-gauge, 3-conductor cord should be used. Go to a local electrical supplier and buy 10-15 feet of 10/3 SOOW cable and NEMA 6.50 (pin) male (plug) and female (receptacle). Cheap enough. Should be more than enough for a Handler 190.
A 12 gauge extension cord at 120V or 230V is still only recommended to carry 20A. Most machines, like your motor example, do require less amps at twice the voltage because it results in the same amount of energy,120V*20A=2400W or 240*10A=2400W. But if a machine runs on 230V at 30A you can't use a 15 gauge extension cord and assume one hot lead ...

Hobart Handler 140 replacement power cord. 08-23-2024, 07:36 PM. Hey, first poster here. I have a HH 140 that I use for the odd this and that. My garage has only a few outlets and with the short factory power cord my range is limited. I've tried using an extension cord, but it really affects the machine's capability.

Handler 125 Extension Cord Confusion. 04-19-2012, 02:45 PM. I need to buy an extension cord for my Hobart Handler 125. The manual says that up to 50' should be a 12 Gauge cord. That is what I've been looking for but I have come across a problem. The manual says that the welder needs to be plugged into a 20 amp circuit/outlet.
