I'm looking at buying either a MIG or TIG setup. I'm leaning toward a ThermalArc TIG either the 185 or the 200 amp inverter, but I really don't know.
Anyway, that's not what this is about. I've seen a lot of specs saying single-phase, 3-phase, and both. Now I read this from the Miller web site:
To select the right product, you need to match it to the type of primary power available: single-phase (home, garage, barn) or three-phase (industrial), 115, 200, 230, 460 or 575V. For primary power flexibility, look to Miller's inverter-based products featuring Auto-Line or Auto-Link. They automatically accept single- or three-phase power, as well as multiple voltages without any manual relinking of jumpers.
Now my question is this: Does single phase not require 220 volts? I want to be able to set all this up in my garage and I already have a sub-panel out there. It'd be great if I could run it on just 110 volts instead of 220. Can anyone enlighten me or at least point me in the right direction?
