  1. can you use this for a welder?

    1. Yes, provided your welder has the same connections (NEMA 6-50)

      Helpful?

    2. YES

      Helpful?

    3. Yes. That's how I use mine with my 50AMP 220 welder and also my 220 plasma cutter. Both work really wel.

  2. Is this a 220 volt X-cord or 120 volt?

    1. This is a 220-240 volt extension cord....used with ... Welder a, plasma cutters, and other shop tools..

      Helpful?

    2. This is a 240V cord. It has NEMA 6-50 connections (like an electric stove)

    3. This Century Wire and Cable Right Angle Welding Extension Cord is 250 volts.

  3. Will this cord work ?

    Will this extension cord work with this welding machine ? Or would I have to change one of the plugs ?

    1. Know this is an old post, but felt like a little correct knowledge may help regardless, this is a 40 amp cord. Many devices require 50 amps to run, basically 25 amps per power leg. To answer your question, yes this cord will work with a welder rated at 50 amps, since it has a NEMA 6-50 plug. However since it's only 8 AWG, it may eventually fail if run at or near full load over long time periods. 8 AWG in SO (flexible) type cable per NEC is rated anywhere from 35 to 40 amps, depending on the number of power conductors and assuming the most common cable thermoplastic sheathing of SJT (2 cond. SJT sheath = 40 amps). Then you have to factor in the duty cycle. Ratings are based upon 100% duty cycle. If your home use equipment (welder, plasma cutter etc.) is anything like mine, it only functions in a 20% to 60% range, depending upon the equipment. There are complicated calculations that you can do to see what effect the duty cycle has on the temperature rise of the wires, but suffice it to say that it has a significant impact. Based upon my experience I would say that if you are at a 50% duty cycle you can extend the ampacity rating of the cable by approximately 25%. In this case, 40 amps X 1.25 = 50 amps. So, you're within a useable range at up to 50% duty cycle. Beyond that the temperature of the wire, and temperature surrounding the wire sheathing could cause an eventual breakdown and short. As an FYI, comparable 6 AWG, 2 power conductor, SJT sheathed cable has an NEC rating of 55 amps. Because I know that I have some equipment that I need to run 100% of the time, I would opt for a cord with 6 AWG wiring. Your local electrician can make one for you, but I guarantee that it will be more expensive than if you find one on-line.

    2. It will work with a 220 welder. It has a standard round bottom welding plug on it.

      Helpful?

    3. This Century Wire and Cable Right Angle Welding Extension Cord can be used with the Hybrid MIG/Stick 200 without changing the plug end. However, it is strongly recommended not to use an extension cord because of the voltage drop it produces. This drop in voltage can affect the performance of the welder.

  4. Plug in connections?

    Cannot tell from the pictures but I think this is a regular 50-amp connection? Two flat electrical male probes each side with a round ground on top and a flat ground probe on the bottom? Much like a 50 amp RV plug connection? Can this be used as an extension cord for a 50 amp RV connection?

    1. This has NEMA 6-50 connections (U-shaped ground & 2 flat vertical), most RV connections have 4 prongs or have angled prongs

      Helpful?

    2. The plug you're describing is exactly what this has. It's a round one at the bottom and two flats on the side, like a welder or plasma cutter plug.

    3. This Century Wire and Cable heavy-duty 50 Amp/250V right angle extension cord is designed for use with all portable MIG welders up to 400 Amps.

  5. what is the wire guage (size) in this cord?

    1. This extension cord is made with 8/3 gauge wire.

      Helpful?

    2. 8/3 ( 8 gauge, 3 conductor)

  6. can this be plugged into a house 110v socket?

    1 answer

    1. The plug is designed for a 220v socket.

  7. What side is the larger prong for the female connection? The male side looks like the larger is on the left and on the female side the larger looks to be on the right from the photo 

    1 answer

    1. If the ground prong is on top, the larger opening would be on the left side.

  8. Can a 30 amp breaker work on this or will it constantly trip a breaker?

    1 answer

    1. This welding extension cord can handle up to 40 amps at 250 volts. Using this on a circuit with a 30 amp breaker will not cause the breaker to trip.

      Helpful?

  9. Is this cord compatible with the Norther Tool multiprocess stick/tig/mig welder, product# 20307

    1 answer

    1. This Cord is designed for use with all portable MIG welders up to 400 Amps including item 20307 listed below.
