It's the other way around.....
....when I crank up the welder and start on heavy plates the lights in the village go dim......
I was forced by Hydro and some of their crazy regulations to have a separate service for the barn as I requested a 200 amp service....... so they intalled a 16k volt line up to the barn with a transformer to step down to 220 volts just for one service....... juice I have !!!!
The down side..... I got to pay for the installation.
Major draw is the 10 hp compressor that draws 65 amps. on start up and the welder but welding is usually on lighter guage steel although the Miller will do 3/8 steel single pass.
Now that we have a "Smart" meter, I may have to do all my welding after midnight when the rates are lower......
