Converting a 3 prong to a 4 prong plug
Hello All. I'm stuck so I thought I'd come to the experts with this.
I have a welder that has a 3 prong plug but I have to plug it into a 4 prong outlet. I purchased the 4 prong plug to replace the original one but I'm not sure what wires go where. Currently the 3 prong has a Green (Top) and black and white wires on the bottom two prongs. My logic is that my welder wire doesn't have enough wires to use on a 4 prong plug in?? Of course that's just my "Simple" logic as I don't know much at all about wiring things.
I'm going to be running my welder on my Genrac 25,000 watt generator. That is what has the 4 prong plug. The generator 4 prong plug says 50 amp and my welder says 40 amp so, again with my logic, the generator should be big enough to run the welder?
Thanks in advance,
Brad
