Will a portable generator run a arc welder?
Looking at a 6000 watt portable generator. Trying to figure out if it will be able to run an arc welder. Looked around on the internet some at arc welders and most a variable amperage. Now I'm pretty sure volts x amps = watts so if a welder has a output range of 30 to 125 amps and seems to be able to draw on either 120 or 240 volt power does that mean that the draw range is 3600 watts to 30,000 watts, and if this is the case how much could I reasonably expect to be able to weld while limiting my self to about 6kw's?
Thanks
Portable welders do it all of the time.
Watts does equal V*A but you need to remember that the Amps of the outut of the welder are not at 240V. Most small welders are variable up to about 20 Volts. Look at the welders ID plate. It should have an input rating. It might be something like: FLA 20A/10A 120V/240V. That is what tells you the generator output requirement.
6000W is 25 Amps at 240V. You should allow 15%-20% extra.
