can I run this from a 220volt 30 amp generator

The specs for input are 230v and 60amps. Your.generator's breaker will trip before you get any serious welding done.

You'll need a transformator to do so. Not worth the headache. There is a version suitable for 220 volts. Look for them

I wouldn't know why not, depending on how many amps the generator can support at 220v. What is the output of your generator? Is the 220v outlet rated at "X" number of amps? Depending on how you are setting the welder, you may need up to 20 amps of service from the generator, which may be higher than it is rated.

Yes u can,but u must have a sufficient 110 power supply. enough to cary enough amperage to the machine. u have to be able to pull at least 25 or 30 amp thru your power supply. Standard 110 supply usually will not.

If the generator has a L14-30 receptacle and whatever you are powering up has a L14-30 plug, than yes. The cord is rated for 7000 watts.

D.Davis, you must have the 220volt switch in the 220volt position. There are 2 windings in the generator that produce 2 legs of 120 volts at 15 amps each leg which paired equal 30 amps or 220 volts at 15 amps. When you use the 4 wire plug, you will have two 120 volt wires each one from a different winding in the generator circuit, one neutral and one ground if the switch is in the 220 volt position. You can also use the two 120 volt legs to equal your 220 circuit but the amps are cut down to 15 amps. My generator is wired into my electrical panel and does this automatically.

It all depends on the connections on the generator. There are basically two different styles of cables, 30-amp and 50-amp. The connectors are different between them. This connection box is a 50-amp connection so if your generator matches, you can simply install this and plug in your cable. If instead you have a 30-amp connector on your generator, you can either use the 30-amp version of this box, or buy a small pigtail conversion cable that changes the 50-amp connection to a 30-amp. My advice is to use this box no matter what style of connection you have and use the short conversion cable if you need it. The reason this makes more sense is that you may eventually want to upgrade your generator to a larger one and will need the 50-amp box to make that work. It may be overkill for now, but makes upgrading easier. Anyone buying your home in the future will appreciate this as well. Good luck and I hope this answer helps.

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.

Yes. Ideally you would want a 50 amp circut, but you'll be just fine with a 220/30amp.

Much depends on the model and age of your generator. Many, if not all new generators, 5000 watts (5Kw) or greater have a 30 amp 220v outlet, typically, but not always a NEMA LC14-30 twist lock connector. If a 20amp output, then a NEMA LC14-20 connector. Check in the generator manual for exact details, it should let you know the output ranges and types. Never go smaller than required though, for example, using a 20amp breaker on a max 30amp loaded. Safer to buy bigger, i.e. the 30amp transfer box.

This power distribution box converts a 220V input feed with a neutral conductor into multiple 120V output circuits that are GFCI protected and over-current protected at 20 amps. If your generator can output 20A at 220V, then you can theoretically connect up to 40A of load at 120V via this distribution box as long as your 120V loads are balanced on a per phase basis. To ensure system safety, your generator output must have a 30A 2-pole circuit breaker (20A or 25A would also be fine) to ensure the per phase current never exceeds 30A, which is the rating of the twist-lock input receptacle.

I agree with James, assuming your generator is peak 5500, you should be fine. Remember that the transfer switch likes to balance the load, half on one side A&B; circuits and half on E&F; circuits (C&D; is for the 220volt circuit). Check out this web page, look at the Q&A; section. http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/Reliance-Controls-20216A/p1113.htmlSwitch is super easy to install, gauge works well to watch wattage load too. Be sure your amperages are right, that will trip the gen each time if not.

Yes this will work, the control gives you a total of 4 120v 15a circuits, which you can select from the main panel and 1 240v double pole circuit, or you can remove the bridge and have 2 additional 120v circuits at 20a. You will need a long twist lock 30a power cord to reach from the generator location to this control. A lot of people buy the 30a weatherproof inlet box and istall it outdoors to plug the generator into, this is hard wired to the control, eliminating a cord running into the home through an open window or door. I hope this helps. Chris

This adapter uses a 4 prong male plug to feed a generator's 30 Amp 220/250 volt output to two 15/20 Amp 110v female sockets. I'm not familiar with your particular generator, but if it doesn't have a 220v outlet, this adapter is likely not for you.

Your generator will only put out 41 amps at full load no matter how many 30amp receptacles you have. The more items you use in your RV at the same time the more amps you will use, up to 41 amps max.

just look at the rating on the box. I'm using a smaller generator, and it works fine. BTW, there is a similar unit from the same company rated for 7000 watts (7kw), if you need to go larger. The box is the same size I think, but the connector arrangement is probably different, to handle more amperage. Good luck!

No it does not. You likely have a 100 or 200 amp electric service and the generator has an output of about 30 amps. It should be able to handle your essential circuits though using an 8-10 circuit transfer panel
