Generator/Welder

[greenb6901]

I have a 12000 watt heavy duty generator and need to change an axle in my trailer. Would it run my 225 AC Lincoln welder to do this job. I'm pretty sure it will but just checking.
Thanks Everyone

220V welder. I imagine it wouldn't take more than a 50amp breaker?

You'd have to be pulling 50amps at 220v to hit the max of 12,000watt.

If it is in good shape it should barely grunt. Don

I’ve run a tombstone off a 7kw before, so I think you’re set.
