bringing this back up for a few more questions ... Got the pole set, meter loop in place, have all the 110v outlets and lights/switches wired and just ran wires from breaker box below meter thru gray PVC conduit into the building and up to a separate 125 amp breaker box inside. All 110v outlets & lights will be on 4 different 20 amp breakers ... and just need to hook up breakers at both ends and welder outlet (50 amp 220v) which will be on it's own 50 amp breaker in the outside meter box (dedicated wires to welder).
for the welder outlet, I know I hook up two legs of 110v (black & red) but does the third leg get connected to the neutral (white) or common ground (green or bare copper)?

Remember that 'Neutral' actually carries a current (return), and you DONT want any current present to the frame of a machine (ground).

thanks, that's what I was thinking too but hadn't found a clear cut answer in my searches.
