do i need a Inverter Generator for welding or can any generator be used ?

admin

Can i use any type of generator to run my tig welder off of. Does it need to be on of the nicer Inverter Generator  so the volts dont change much ?If i had to do a small repair  can i run a miller 200 dx off a honda EU2000i inverter generator?

Reply:Originally Posted by Broccoli1THEY NEED TO BE INVERTER GENERATORS.The Honda inverter  series can be paralleled quite easily by just using 2 banana pin cables between the 2 generators.But the Inverter generators are not cheap- each 2000watt is $1,000.00http://powerequipment.honda.com/gene...lel-capability

Reply:It doesn't need to be an inverter. However if you are running an inverter machine off of it, you need to scope it to be sure it is clean power. Miller bobcats are known for extremely clean power and are not inverter generators.
