A single 15 amp load off of only one coil is pretty harsh especially if it's for any length of time. Even the wire feeder probably puts a good load on it too, and probably for more of a duration than the saw.

Bjorn, If the unit was running in 120/240 volt mode and the welder is a 120 volt model that could explain the head going bad so soon. The welder and power tools would put a pretty large unbalance in the generator. some power tools like a good circular saw or angle grinder can draw upwards of...

That is not just a claim, more like fact. The rule of thumb I was taught for starting inrush on an A/C motor was 6 times the FLA of the motor. That's why your motor protection is always time delayed. The inrush alone would blow a fast acting fuse instantly. Also, it's not for any real...

The OP is not talking about driving a 15 KW load. He as asking about "starting" or "surge" rating. And in my opinion, the 300% surge rating is probably a pretty good assumption. For the few milliseconds that the 15 KW load would be present, I think the generator and motor could more than...

Yes, it is kind of important to keep the loads in balance. Depending on what you are doing with it though, you may not need to worry about it too much. If you are running it in 120/240 single phase mode, and have your house hooked to it. Any 240 volt loads are automatically balanced. The...

Yes, you can change that switch while the set is running and under load. As long as you are running the set in 120/240 single phase operation, you'll see the displayed voltage in the 2 o'clock position go from 240 volts to 120 volts when you switch it to the 4 o'clock position. The % load...

You're thinking about that switch way too hard. The small switch on the front of the control panel does absolutely NOTHING to the large output lugs and the main reconnection switch located in the AC output box. The small AVTS as you called it is only for the metering and gauges on the control...
