How big of a generator do you need to drive a 200 amp welder?
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.
How many Watts will a portable diesel generator have to produce to run a Lincoln Tig 275 Welder at full power?
A Lincoln Tig 275 Welder typically requires around 9,000-10,000 watts to operate at full power. Therefore, a portable diesel generator with a minimum output of 10,000 watts or more would be recommended to run the welder efficiently without overloading the generator.
Will a 800 watt generator have enough power to operate a 90 amp welder?
No, unless you can set it low and can be assured that it wont use more than say 4000watts, the welder might momentarily use more power than what you set it to, it should not wreck the welder i would imagine unless it is a fancy mig welder or something, set the welder low you should be fine but for high end use she should be firing out 8 or 9kw so keep it low if you must.
What wire gauge do you need for a small electric welder when runnung for a distance of 35 feet?
For a small electric welder operating at 120V and up to 20A over a distance of 35 feet, a wire gauge of 10 AWG would be suitable to minimize voltage drop. This gauge ensures efficient power transmission and safe operation for the welder.
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.

How many kva to power a 180amp welder?
To determine the kVA required to power a 180 amp welder, you can use the formula: kVA = (Voltage x Amperage) / 1000. For example, if the welder operates at 240 volts, the calculation would be (240V x 180A) / 1000 = 43.2 kVA. Therefore, you would need at least a 43.2 kVA power source to operate a 180 amp welder efficiently.
Is a gas generator better than electric?
The purpose of a generator is to generate electricity. An electric generator would be redundant. It would need electricity to make electricity and when there is a power outage there is not electricity.
What size generator do you need to move a 30 hp electric motor?
A 5 kW generator would turn it over but if the full 30 hp of mechanical power is needed, that would require about 30 kW of electric power from the generator.

Can you use 3 prong welder with a 4 prong plug on generator?
Yes, you can use a 3-prong welder with a 4-prong plug on a generator, but you'll need to ensure that the generator's output matches the welder's voltage and amperage requirements. You may need to adapt the 4-prong outlet to accommodate the 3-prong plug, ensuring that the ground connection is properly maintained for safety. Always follow electrical safety guidelines and consult the equipment manuals for compatibility before making any connections.
How do you calculate power use for a home power generator?
Click the link. There you can figure the size generator you need.
Does a back up generator need initial electricity to work?
No, a backup generator does not need initial power to work. Once it senses that the main source of power is cut off, the control will send a signal to the generator and the generator will kick start and provide electricity until it senses that a stable power source has returned. Then, it would switch off and be on standby mode again.
