T0rnado69 DIY nut !! Messages 1,871 Location Essex Oct 8, 2018 #1 260amp 3 phase mig with a 4pin red plug. could it be connected to blue plug 32amp 240v and just not used at full wack ?? as the 250amp version is 240v 32amp. but they are like trying to find a needle in an haystack. thoughts. ?

D dannyp Member Messages 3,187 Oct 14, 2018 #7 Depends on the transformer in it and how it’s all wired up. If it dose 220v 3 ph you’ve got a chance
D dannyp Member Messages 3,187 Oct 14, 2018 #8 Can sometimes butcher it to put all 3 windings in parallel so in effect make one big single phase transformer
