Spoolmatic distance from engine drive ?

admin

I am considering replacing my Bobcat with a Trailblazer 302.  One of the reasons is more process capability on the truck.  One thing I am looking forward to be able to do is hook up my Spoolmatic 15A for mig'ing aluminum if I get the WC24 controller to connect it to the Trailblazer.   My question is, how far out (feet of cable) can I go from the engine drive with the spool gun before it creates a problem with running the gun (voltage drop to the gun motor maybe) ?  Thanks for your replies.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:Your leads can be as long as you want to drag around as long as they are a large enough gauge to prevent excessive voltage drop.Tough as nails and damn near as smart

Reply:Miller makes a 75' 14 pin cord. It works for the spoolguns, high freq unit and suitcases. I have all three and no issues. However Miller does not recommend more than 75'
Reply:Thanks.How much do they get for one of those 75 foot cords, may I ask ?MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:I have personly run 225 ft of 14 pin (3-75footers) without any problems.
