I have been using my Pickhill 220 amp stick welder on single phase for a few years but now have the opportunity to put it back on to 3 phase. But I am confused. The sparks who is doing the wiring for me has put a new plug & socket in with 5 wires and I thought 3 phase was only 4 wires. And can anyone tell me where each of the 5 wires go in the terminal box on top of the welder please. I know earth is the central pole but where do other wires in the 3 phase cable go ? Some of the voltage markings have disappeared but I have added what I think is written in the terminal box. What is visible at the moment is how it was wired up for single phase. The blue wire is on terminal 0
And someone told me today that arc welders only use 2 of the phases anyway. Confused.com here. All answers appreciated.

I'm pondering the question of whether I need a bigger welder. I
currently have a Cytringan 'Bantam' 180 A oil-cooled machine. It's
almost identical to the more common Pickhill and Oxford 'Bantam' sets.
Perhaps users of these British oil-cooled machines could give me their
thoughts here?

I have build a lot of stuff using 3 mm thick mild steel. My current
welder copes with this comfortably. A while ago I switched to using 6011
electrodes instead of 6013 because I wasn't happy with the strength of
the welds I was getting and was also having some problems with slag
inclusions in awkward welds. 6011 electrodes are giving me much stronger
welds, but need a higher open circuit voltage to strike an arc. So now I
am using the 80 V terminal on my welder instead of the 50 V terminal.

This is still fine for welding 3 mm and 4 mm steel with 3.25 mm
electrodes as it gives an output up to 120 A. But I have bigger projects
in mind. I want to make a chassis for my phase convertor and a frame for
a hydraulic press. These will require at least 6 mm steel. I want the
welds to have a similar strength and stiffness to the parent metal. In
other words I don't want to be using thicker steel for little gain. So I
want to keep using the 6011 electrodes which I've been very pleased
with. But I'm not sure that I'm going to get adequate penetration in a
single pass using 3.25 mm electrodes on my current machine. I'm not sure
if I should move up to 4.0 mm or 4.7 mm electrodes. And I don't want to
be struggling with a task of which my welder is barely capable.

So does anyone have strong feelings about whether or not my welder is up
to the job? If I was to get another machine I would almost certainly go
for another Oxford-style oil-cooled machine. Probably a 300 A @ 50 V /
200 A @ 80 V machine. A fine current adjustment would be nice too. I
believe there's a machine in the Oxford range which roughly meets this
specification. I also like the really old cube-shaped English Electric
machines, but I'm not sure that they have an 80 V output. Anyone in the
Midlands got an idle machine they want to sell?
