I forgot to ask a newbie question about setups....

[katilicous]

even though i just introduced myself a few hours ago, I have no idea where to post this question and thought here might be a good place to start...
I live in a condo that has an HOA that covers all electric to our garages which are not set up with 220. Am I beat or is there a way to convert the 110 and still cover 40-100 amp machines?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, when I google it I end up with foreign voltage converters.
Thanks,
Kati

you can run a 100 amp MIG on 110V. It will need to be a dedicated circuit as 100A will draw a full 15A.

With a 20A circuit you can go up to 130A on 110V.

It will not br practical to run a 220V machine on 110V with a converter (transformer.) Will draw over twice the current at 110V, be big and heavy and cost a ton.
