Extension Query
I have a 210 amp welder with a Nema 6-50 plug and 10'-12awg cord and want to make a 25' extension cord for it. Do I need to "up" a gauge or two - 10/3, 8/3? TIA

did the welder come with the 10' #12 cord? we need to know how many amps your welder is rated at. if #12 is the appropriate size cord you won't need to up it to go 15 more feet.
