I have a lincoln sp 135. that i run on a 25 foot 12 gauge cord coming out of the wall.
its on a 20 amp breaker in the system,, garage came wired that way.
i know when i first got the thing, it did not trip the breaker ever 5 seconds on full heat I can barely run a 1" bead without it breaking, this is only on full heat, on lower heat it does not trip as fast, but will still trip.
i use .035 flux core.
Things i have done:
replace the breaker ( i will do this again, and double check the wiring on the breaker again)
I've also read that reducing wire size may help, possibly go down to .030?
Things I've found from research:
run only the welder on the setup, turn off radio and lights.
possibly get a 8 or 10 gauge extension cord, and see if i can get by with a shorter cord , that seems like it would help.
should i try changing the wall outlet it is plugged into?
any ideas?
could it be something in the welder?
anyone else welding on 110v and having similar issues?
