I’ve no idea what your tip was? You kept wandering off topic. Was it simply to have connectors added to your leads so they could be joined together easier for longer runs????
I just bought a Lincoln ac225 off of marketplace. The guy had extended the leads but did it backwards. He hooked straight on the factory 4/5 gauge with 20' of 1/0. It worked but I know you can't really carry the power that way so I rewired it with the 1/0 to the machine and tweco cons to the whip 4/5 gauge. I've got about 35' of lead for each side in total. Best $100 I've spent in a long time!
@@BRENT3143945 200 or less Amps, i've never welded before. Still waiting for the 1994 welder to get shipped here. I'm in the process of buying everything to get into welding; Helmet, Electrodes, Clamps, and a 10lb box of 3/32 7018 to practice with in all positions.

It's good to have some good lead on that welder because it weights 100lbs lol
I'm running a newer Hobart with that setup. But I've only got like 30 feet each side. Those tweco connectors are really nice.
I bought a new Hobart also
ah, soo for a Hobbyist, buying 4 gauge will probably work. 👍
For how many amps and how long of lead? it all depends
