Miller MVP Power Cable and Quick change plug set


Miller MVP Power Cable Cord and Plug Set


On the Miller Maxstar 150 series ,Spectrum 375 X-treme Plasma Cutters , Passport Plus and Millermatic DVI2 Miller uses what is called a MVP ( Multi-Voltage Plug) . There are 3 plugs available : a 115 volt 15amp ( regular wall plug) , a 120 volt 20 amp ( one terminal is sideways) and a 50 amp 230 volt welder plug.
The kit being sold on http://www.brweldingsupplies/ includes the 115 plug and 230 volt plugs and the input cord . This sell for about $ 90. Call 800-783-3073
To install this on a Dynasty 200 DX it is necessary to remove the top cover ( there are 2 screws on the sides by the handles) , loosen the strain releif on the front where the origional input cord goes in . Look at where the green ( ground wire goes ) the white and black wires go also ( you will see a red wire - this will be removed and not used ). Remove the origional cord and install the new cord thru the strain relief. Hook up the green to where the green was. White to wher the white was and black to where the black was . The red wire that was on the origional cord is for three phase only . If you need three phase DONT install this setup as you will be set for single phase only.
Make sure that you check all connections for being secure , wiring tucked in and secured . Tighten the strain relief and reinstall the top cover . Check out on 120 first and see how the machine operates.
I would save the old set up in case there are any warranty issues and or if a resale comes up later down the road.
