Hello, I recently received a Dayton AC-DC 250 stick welder. The pictures attached show the input and specs of the welder. Im new to welding but have had some previous experience overall, so i wanted to practice more at home, my only issue is that I do not have a dedicated 50A breaker yet setup to weld on. I do have a 30A dryer outlet near a back door that i was thinking of using with a 30A to 50A adapter plug. I will only be using 3/32 6010 and 1/8 6010 to start because I don't want things to trip with my 7018 on the 30A breaker. General question that Im trying to ask is : Will i be able to do some small practice welds with the 6010 3/32 on this welder connected to the 30A dryer outlet or am i going to run into issues? Any advice is appreciated, Thank you.

Reply:I would guess yes, but try it and see. If your house is properly wired, the worst thing that should happen would be you trip the breaker. Now if its not properly wired, all bets are off. I think at 85 amps you will be around 25-29 amps, but that is just a guestimate.Miller Multimatic 255

Reply:It's been my experience that you will be able to weld at fairly low amps.But if you chuck up an 1/8" 7018 you'll pop the breaker.You'll find the limit by accident (experimentation) pretty quickly.

Reply:I tried that with a Miller Thunderbolt,,what I found is that if you welded one rod, waited 5 to 10 minutes, then weld another rod, the breaker would not trip.If you weld a rod, then immediately weld a second, then a third,, the breaker would trip, at some point.Anyways, who cares if the breaker trips??
Reset it, and go back to welding.
I welded LOTS of 7018 1/8" rod with the 30 amp breaker,,, and enjoyed the mandatory "breaks",,,,,,,,
