This Invertec Arc Welder/stick welder comes with a 120/230v input cord with a 120 volt 15 amp plug and also a extra 120 volt 20 amp plug. If you ran it on the 230 volt you could use a 30 or 50 amp plug.

V155 manual recommends NEMA 6-30P but portable generators have NEMA L14-30
th V155 manual states:
230V INPUT
To achieve the full output capacity of the V155-S,
230VAC inputs should be used. The change over is
accomplished by replacing the 120VAC plug with a 30
Amp 230VAC plug (NEMA 6-30P). (and suggests 30A)Question: most portable generators rated at the necessary 10000 running watts have a NEMA L14-30 receptacle. Would this mean not using the NEMA 6-30P and instead use a L14-30 plug or just use an adapter? Want to make sure that there are no grounding or safety issues.
Thanks

ProductExpert24· 11 years ago
If you wish to use this welder at full power through a portable generator, the manufacturer recommends using an adapter from the 6-30P to the L14-30. As long as everything is wired correctly, there should be no grounding or safety concerns.

Lincoln Electric Invertec V155-S 120/230V
I have a generator that is rated at 8550 watts. It has 1 120/240 Volt - 30 Amp AC plug. In addition to 4 standard 120 Volt - 20 Amp AC plugs.
Will this Lincoln Invertec V155-S mini stick welder operate with this generator ?
1 answer-
ProductExpert12· 12 years ago
The Lincoln Welder should work with your 8550 rated generator hooked up to 120 or 230 voltage according to the manufacturer.
