Hello All,
I purchased a iMig 140 to use for simple jobs around the house. I decided to have a dedicated circuit for the welder. The breaker in the box is a 30 amp. When I plug the welder to a regular 15 amp circuit and set it up for an 1/8 plate using 0.30 wire and a 25/75 mix I can get it dialed in, but the weld is a little cold. If i keep the same settings and plug it into the dedicated 30 amp circuit it burns to hot and almost burns through. The question I have is shouldn't the welder draw only what is necessary for the settings? My gut feeling is maybe the dedicated circuit being only 6 feet from the breaker box has a increased voltage. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks,
