does anybody know if its possible to run a miller techno weld pluri tig 1.310
on a single phase 240v supply ?

many thanks

Hi
The old tradestig 150 used to run off 2 phases of a 3 phase supply, I guess this is the same you need 3 phase but only use any 2 of them when wiring it up.

Have a look for the manual here http://www.millerwelds.com/service/ownersmanuals.php

A photo of the data plate will give all the info we need to tell you. If its running on two phases then its 400v single phase so there is a good chance it would work on 230v but current draw would be high probity to high to be realistic for domestic use.
