The other thing to consider about 110 vs. 220 is that the 220 is more efficient -- you end up with lower amps in the circuit. That actually ends up being making the electricity cost cheaper.


You do realize that you pay for electricity based upon KW/Hour, and that a Miller 135 at full nut draws [email]20amps@120[/email] volts (2400 watts) and a Miller 175 at full nut draws [email]20amps@240[/email] volts (4800 watts). At the same power output of lets say 100amps the machines difference in power consumption is negligible. The only time you are going to see a real difference in power consumption is when comparing a Inverter machine to a traditional Transformer machine, I.E a Dynasty 300 vs. Synchrowave 250.
