Reply:There is a boatload of information on this forum about wire size and breakers. Go to the Electrical section and start searching and reading. Typically for MIG on steel you will want to use 75/25.Burt _____________________Miller Syncrowave 250Millermatic 211Miller 375 Plasma Cutter Hobart Handler 12010FtDrillBit.com
