Sorry 3rd degree, your argument is not convincing.

How can you not provide something safer than that cord you describe? [Linked Image] And how can you justify using a cord without a ground???????

Yes, the welder has a job to do. Does that mean he can just slap together some haphazard arrangement to get the job done? I don't think so.

Citing 90-2 b(5) as a defense for using that cord is weak, and it's really stretching the intent of that rule. I would argue that what you're using is temporary wiring, and therefore it must comply with Code.
