When you refer to a 200 amp welder you are talking about the output side of the welder. What you have to do is find out what the input voltage and current of the welder is to calculate the size of a generator needed to operate the welder.

What size generator would you need to power a 200 amp tig welder?

Generators are rated in watts or kilowatts. The formula for watts is W = Amps x Volts. To size a generator for the welder the voltage of the machine must be stated.


If my house has a 200 amp line what size generator would it take to run the house and have the same power?

Your house runs nowhere near 200 amps, so you need to make a list of appliances and fixtures that you use, or that you will need while the generator is running, and add their power consumption together. Add some extra capacity for growth and so the generator is not always at full power. Then talk to dealers about generators with the amount of power you need. To run the house on a generator with the same capacity as the service that you have in your house you would need a 50 Kilowatt generator.


Can a 30 K W gas emergency generator support a 200 amp residential service with a voltage config of 220 120 volts?

Need to know what voltage the generator is outputing. The maximum voltage a 15kW generator will support at 200A is dependent on service voltage and configuration, the rated generator voltage, the power factor and the load frequency. If this is a typical service to a residential unit, eg. 220V single phase, then the generator will not be able to safely support 200A.


How many KW is 200 amps?

kW = I x E x pf/1000. Taking pf as .9 you get, 200 x 240 x .9/1000 = 43.2. The standard transformer for a 200 amp service is 50 KVA


How do I wire a single phase 120 amp 230 volt flux and mig welder to a 200 amp panel?

It is very likely that the 120A current you quote is the output current. Check your Welder Box and look at the input current. It is likely around 30 Amps. To wire a 30A circuit you will need 10 gauge wire and it is likely 3 conductots + ground. You will need a 230V Breaker. Connect the black and red wires from the 10 gauge cable to the breaker, white wire to neutral and ground to ground.

How many watt generator does it take to run your home?

If the service is single phase 200 amp then you would need a, W = A x V, 200 x 240 = 48000 watt generator. Since there are no 48kW standard generators you would have to use a 50 kW generator. If your home distribution panel is 100 amps then a 25 kW generator will work.
