I just picked up a campbell hausfeld 230V 6.5HP (3average running) for 250 bucks Only 3 months old. so ill have to hook another up for that as well.


Yeah the compressor will be super close the the breaker anyways.. Probably less than 10 feet so I will probably put the first 2 outlets a few feet below the breaker box itself.

So if those are GE breakers how easy is it to install a new one. JC, im sure i could figure it out but it doesnt hurt to ask.

I think i decided on the Millermatic 180 with autoset. can get a decent setup for a reasonable price.

totally, good pick.
I love mine.
You can do everything on our trucks with it.
With a good duty cycle too, and I have yet to over heat mine, and all my heavy welding is done!

they are as easy as pushing the breaker into the slot, screwing the wires to the breakers, and knocking out the spot in the panel. If you need further help you dont live too far away, just PM me if you want help when wiring it up.

Hey Jchristian, just now caught this.. I will be attempting to install this when i get back in about 2 weeks. I dont think i will have too big of a problem but i will let you know if i stumble across a question.

For the people who helped me with this I appreciate it. it was seriously way easier than i thought to do this. i just bought the breaker, some 10g wire and a receptacle/plug (for a range oven) and wired everything up. Took maybe 20 mins total

IN the pic if you look far left you can see the receptacle, this was for my compressor and I will be doing another on on the other side of the garage for my lincoln welder (when i get it, lol)
