It is ironic to mention. I plug in at a relatives house and inquired about increase of bills monthly. I was simply told "nothing to notice". I do keep the mig on a 12v output (low setting) for all but one chore.
the mig transformer is very much like larger pc power supply (my 3400 mhz is 6 bucks a month) It takes 115v winds up amps to 12v, I also wondered if keeping the car battery hooked up, as it is 12v, allowed for some recycle or usage from the dark side of the cars system. It is a possible, strange, but possible. I am welding the very ground the car is grounding to. in a pc it is called the 12volt negative, a pc finds it too...
A 230volt mig is a big user, as 230 is hypocrite, and crazy.
