[QUOTE="Puppy, post: 387546, member: 3870"] Don't worry about the power company service entrance. It is their responsibility to size the secondary conductors on an overhead service. They are generally under rated and fall under a completely different set of rules than what is inside the building. I would install a true 200 Amp servies at the building and take it from there. This would give you a 200 Amp. main circuit breaker and capacity to feed your welder with a 150 Amp. branch breaker. Most residential services are 200 Amp., 120/240 Volt, single phase and are being fed from a 25 KVA transformer rated at 104 Amp. capacity at 100% duty cycle. They are responsible for sizing the transformer that feeds the customer owned service and most times they are undersized for peak demand. They just allow them to run over 100%, which is not uncommon.
