moving OUT of my shop and back into my garage at home. shop has three

phase. anybody here ever run their MIG (or any other three-phase welder,
for that matter) on a "rotary converter setup"?

would running a welder on a rotary converter setup be 'ill-advised'? I
already have a rotary converter rated "max single motor three hp, max
total hp 12 hp", but it's not clear to me how that relates to using it
with a welder...or if it's even 'doable'?

thanks in advance for educating me on this, guys :-)

Im running an Airco PhaseArc 350, on a 10hp RPC, pony motor started.
However..Im not buring anything bigger than .035 wire and the distance
from the RPC and the welder is less than 20 feet. However..I can do a
very nice spray transfer.
