Thank you for making these videos. I have an older miller spectrum plasma cutter that is dual voltage, but you have to cut the plug and install a 220v plug. I am going to use your idea to make it true dual voltage instead of just one or the other. Awesome!
Great, I'm sure you will love it as I love mine! Let me know how it goes with your machine when you receive it and please keep watching and commenting.
WeldFever just a little fyi its 10 A. W. G. not awwwgggg haha stand for american wire gauge. and when buying a cord end if the amp/volt rating is higher than what ur using it for that is fine just dont go lower.
Thanks for the FYI video. Sorry, when you trimmed off one of the metal cable clamp tabs off the 120v @15a plug, you defeated a safety feature of the plug. Next time please chose a plug that will accept the cable used. The 10awg was a great choice, but it comes in two ratings, 300v and 600v outer sheath protection. The 300v rating would be great for a short jumper adapter, but not the main run to the machine. Also, the cable clamps should be the last thing installed, ya made it hard on yourself on installing them first. Connect the wires first, backseat the plug assembly into the shell, then install the cable clamp. Thanks, James TDLR Electrician
i looked every where for information on MVP adaptor ,even miller ,i in Australia have miller dx 200 and has no plug ,Australia uses 240volt single phase and 415 volt 3phase any suggestion and information .
Tim Giles The Miller 200dx' s microprocessor is supposed to automatically sense voltage and phase and then adjust to it. Here in the states you merely wire on a plug that will work for your outlet, then plug it in and go. I chose to make an adapter so that I could easily switch between 215v and 230v, and the machine does the rest. I don't know if Australian power is in any way different than here in the states, but I would suggest you contact Miller and find out. Good luck.

+jd dr.jkindle Thank you, that is very helpful.
Can you do this with any machine or does it need to be classified as a dual voltage welder?

WeldFever I meant to say switch between 115v and 230v.
