480V/60A vs. 480V/100A
(OP)
Howdy,
Just found out that one tool we need in the shop will require 100 amps while the welder only requires 60A. If we wire all three 480v outlets to handle 100A then is it correct to assume the welder will be fine on these outlets as well? Thanks.

Put another way, if the welder has a main breaker and the cable is rated for 100 Amps your inspector will probably pass the installation.

Remember Peter, with great Power there must also come great Current squared times Resistance.
