It runs 110vts, so you can run it from a 15 amp cicuit breaker in your

It wants 20 amps from 115V at full load. I'll second the notion
that these are very nice little boxes. They do a much better job than
the imports. I've used both.

Hint with these machines: if it will be unused for a while, take the
wire out, put it in a ziplock bag and backfill the bag with argon mix
or CO2, whatever you're using. Welding gas is dry. My SP can be a
fussy feeder. It works fine with clean wire, but even a slight film
of rust on the wire can make it feed erratically. That drove me
nuts until I figured it out. No problem since I started dry-storing
the wire.
