Can I plug it into the dryer plug which is a 240 v, 30amp? How high can I run the amps up on the welder before it blows the circuit breaker? And would it only trip the breaker or would it damage the welder or wireing from the breaker to the dryer plug. I’m basically trying to find out how high I can turn up the amps on the welder before it will trip the breaker.

If I have two 1/8 inch thick pieces that I am welding together doing a; butt weld, horizontal weld, vertical weld, corner weld, or a T-weld how do you know what the voltage and amperage are to be set at?
