Evening guys and gals and those that identify as washing machines or nuclear aircraft carriers
I’ve got a R-Tech mig 180 , and given all the crazy in the world , without fitting a meter to it , I was wondering what the power usage was .
I know there are many variables , amps in , amps setting etc , and really just wanting to get an idea of rough cost , ie flat out or mid range . This isn’t a costing for a job , just trying to work out how to tell her indoors why it costs so much for me to hide in the shed .
I have no idea about the black art of electrickery , I just know it works , as for how it has a 13amp plug , but is 180amp is just which craft , I get the whole power triangle comes into play but my brain no longer holds info like that , I just know it works ….
Sorry for the rambling , just in my head trying to justify a hobby that is greedy both in terms of materials and tools , but also in energy .
Cheers
