To be clear, I am not trying to transform EN to EP- but I am trying to compare the voltage at the weld versus what the machine does in either case. It seems Miller has a feature that reads a lower voltage at the weld when using TIG DCEN and shuts off.

Thank you for all the replies. It seems I'll just have to go forth and give it a shot, and in the worst case I'm heading to Harbor Freight. I'm still confused about the difference in voltages when stick welding DCEP and TIG DCEN. If I isolate the work from the table, will this help with volatge drop...

I've been watching Jody's videos on scratch-start TIG welding using stick welders as a power source. I own a Miller Maxstar 150S that I hope to use with a TIG torch setup. I understand that welding TIG on 115v 20A circuit is not ideal, but unfortunately I am in a situation that is not under my contr...
