AKWeldshop I love your Quote. So True.

Good to know polarity doesn't matter. Thanks.

I bought the 10/3 wire, plug and receptacle at Ace Hardware.

Did I wire this correctly? Seems like it should be easy but the diagrams with the plug and receptacle were unclear. 10/3 wire. Green between the center posts. White between the two posts marked with the white dot. The white dot in the center of the receptacle is a screw. Black to the unmarked posts....

Thanks.

I have a question about running a circuit to run my welder, but am not sure where, or how to post it. Where do I start a new topic? Thanks again From the comments I...
