I ran #6 wire to my detached garage (60 AMP) for my welder. It runs my 220v compressor, welder, lights ect. Never once blew a breaker. I used (2) ground rods at on the detached garage and burial wire (4 strands).
You welder does not draw full rated AMPS most of the time, unless you crank it up to full.
We have a pole barn on our farm, that has 100 AMP. Power comes in on the pole and spits from the main meter, 1 lead to the house 100 AMP, 1 lead to the pole barn 100 AMP. The pole is in the yard half way between the pole barn and house. The house wire is up in the air, the barn is under ground. At the time, this was the most economical way to do it. The 100 AMP in the pole barn also goes to a subpanel in our horse barn 50 AMP, and another subpanel in a shed 20 AMP. The wires are all underground except for the shed.
I can't say the old horse barn wiring would pass any inspection, but it works and was done 40 years ago.
