Lincoln 210mp on generator.

admin

I'm sure there are other threads on this topic already and feel free to lead me there. But I'm just getting mixed opinions when it comes to running my 210 mp off of a generator. Wondering if anyone could steer me in the right direction so I do not ruin anything. I have a small  4000 watt red d arc gx200.Sent from my SM-A530W using Tapatalk

Reply:I use my 210 MP on my Lincoln Ranger 330 MPX because it has a better than 5% THD (total harmonic distortion).I would not run it on my 7KW Honda powered no-name generator 'cause of concern with the electronics of the 210MP.LINCOLNSquare Wave TIG 200Power MIG 210 MPRanger 330 MPXMILLERThunderbolt AC/DCHYPERTHERMPowermax 190CPowermax 45XPHOUGANHMD 130HMD 505FEIN/SLUGGER 14" COLD METAL CHOP SAW 9" COLD METAL HAND-HELD SAW

Reply:The mp is a heavy duty little welder.  A 4k would be marginal.  But,,,one of the selling points was they were tolerant of power, either it work or won't, if it doesn't don't keep trying.www.urkafarms.com
Reply:I bet the 7k runs it just dandy.  Sometimes I wonder how we ever used a generator without reading everything we can find on the internet?www.urkafarms.com
Reply:Just try welding on generator. Typically a mig/fluxcore can start welding on 3,000 watt generator and stick needs 9,000 watt generator.Dave

Reply:I forget that is a bit of a greedy little bugger and how little 4K is,,, hawww.urkafarms.com
Reply:I run my Lincoln 210 mp on a Honda EU6500i mostly for mig, and often for 1/4" aluminum. Never had any problems. I have also done  gas/gasless flux core on 100ft #12 extension cords with out knocking out breakers. Stick welding seem to pull the most amps on this machine, better off using the Red d arc machine for stick. At 4000 watts it will be limited, mostly to mig and tig anyway. Is that 4000 watt 230V ? You'll be able to run about 120 amps off mig/tig . stick will be around 80-90 amps useable. It really depends on the generator, and the process. No harm in trying, if it doesn't want  to do it , the machine will shut down and restart. Let us know how it goes.RegardsAirco 250 ac/dc Heliwelder Square waveMiller Synchrowave 180 sdMiller Econo Twin HFLincoln 210 MPDayton 225 ac/dcVictor torchesSnap-On YA-212Lotos Cut60DPrimeweld 225 ac/dcPrimeweld mig180Miller AEAD-200
