Could this welder be ran off of a 110/220 generator with a 30A breaker?

It would depend on the generator. You need to compare the duty cycles at certain amp draws. If you give me the duty cycle or the generator at the 220 volt setting, I could compare it to the welder specs that came with mine. BTW it has run flawlessly and was easy to assemble and packed well. The box was banged up when it arrived, but the padding was so good that nothing inside was dinged or bent.On the higher setting, I burned through some 1/4 mild steel to make some 6" dia. access holes and the welder never missed a beat or came close to overheating. If you are just welding for a repair and not doing production work, that 30A breaker might just be good enough. It would depend on the generator.

NO. This is a RV 120 volt plug. Not 220. You will blow the breaker due to short. Check online for print out.

At the rated load yes but it won't carry 10, 500 watts. 30 amps at 240volts is 7, 200 watts. If you're determined to get more than that you'll need multiple lines or a higher amp receptacle on your generator. If your generator has a 4 prong twist lock 30 amp receptacle and 240 volt output this is the right cord.

I don't think that you should do that. If you plug it into a 220 outlet it would fry the tool. I is for 110 A.C. systems. Hope that helps.

I'm running mine on a 40 amp breaker... But it also came with a 120v 20 amp adaptor so you could run it on a regular outlet with limits to output..

I own this machine and running on 120v it will put out 127amps, easily will weld 1/8" steel. I use a 3/32" tungsten and 3/32" rod. Puts out a nice arc. I also own a syncrowave which IMO puts out a little nicer arc. One of the things this machine has going for it is it only draws about 30amps at 220V so you can run it off a dryer outlet with the right plug, no need for a 50 amp circuit to run it wide open throttle. Mine also runs fine off a 20amp 120v circuit without tripping the breaker. Just hopes it lives thru the 5yr warranty, the circuit boards have a lot of chinese components on them. Happy so far.

There is a 30 amp outlet on the generator, and with this adapter, you can use 3 regular 110 outlet extension cords with it, by plugging it in.

220 volts. I am not sure of the amps, but a 30 amp generator is not enough to weld without tripping breaker.

It'll run fine off of a 115 volt outlet, won't trip it. We run it off a small 115v 2000 watt portable generator out in the field.

What type of load are you attempting to power ( welder , 1hp compressor, etc) ?

Probably, but it depends entirely on how much electricity your heat pump draws. The generator puts out 12,000 watts, which is roughly 50 amps at 220 volts. Look at the data plate on your heat pump for how many amps it requires (at 220 v.) and you'll get your answer.

You can do either provided that your breaker can handle the load. You'll need at least a 15 amp breaker with nothing else on it for both on 110v. I would recommend running them on separate breakers for the pupose of redundancy. If one pops the other will still be up and going. The only benefit to running on 220v is pulling fewer amps. The difference in your electric usage is negligible.

Just got mine set up, used a 10 gauge wire (3 wire, solid copper) to a 30 amp breaker, works great. The motor is rated for 23 amps on the machine so 30 should be plenty of power, plus its only 230v.

yes, as long as the plug is the same. the current needed is what you need for the welder.

I've used mine on job sites but you need a dedicated 29 Amp circuit for it.If your converting power and need an inverter I'd try to find a compressor that dies not draw so many amps cayse it will take quite a bit of start up amps from your power source

As long as the generator has a 30 amp 4 prong receptacle this transfer panel can be used

Shouldn't be a problem, keep in mind that it has a single 120v single phase plug rated at 15a. So you'll to know what your generator output or indoor load will be...
