It is a double 30. I check that before I bought the welder. What do you mean by 12/3 for the ground wire?

For the power feed. 2x12awg with a copper ground. I run 10/3. Also, you might want to check your local electrical code, I run a double 50 breaker, because that's code in my area...

It's pretty important. If you ever have a fire, your insurance claim can be rejected if the adjuster notices a lower than code breaker in your box, whether or not it had anything to do with the fire. It's a small thing that can save you A LOT of hardship down the road should anything bad happen. (heaven forbid, LOL)

http://www.harborfreight.com/welding...der-68886.htmlme and my brother have been looking to start welding, and if i save up the money (being 16, this can be a tad difficult) so i'm not sure which of the two to shoot for.
(Let's be realistic, i can't buy a nice Miller or Hobart, so i'm keeping it to the HF choices lol)
