Hello, well I picked up a LB18 here locally, so pretty excited about that. So excited I didn't totally work through the power requirements, LOL.
So, I did call Evenheat, from what I could determine, the 220V is of course needed, but it also comes down to breaker size. It was mentioned it should be connected to a 20amp max breaker.
I do have 220V in the garage, for the welder and now the grinder, not running any more than one piece of equipment at a time. But it is also a 50 amp breaker. So what I'm thinking is make an extension. There is a remote 20amp breaker, then I'd install the correct plug for the welder. This breaker is advertised as a solar breaker, rated to 400 volts. So effectively a short extension cord, with a 20amp breaker in line. I'd keep the ground continuous through the system.
No electrical engineer here,,,,,but wondering if anyone has encountered a similar issue with their kilns. And if the path forward seems reasonable, or if you have a better path?
