Running Lincoln Single Phase 220V welder from generator
I have a lincoln Mig welder requiring 230V 20A single phase power. I
have a welding job to do where there is no power available. It has the Nema 6-50P 3 prong style plug. I have a coleman 5000W run / 6250W max generator that has a 120/240 20A 4 prong twist lock style receptacle Nema style L14-20R. Is this 4 prong receptacle 3 phase power? I purchased a 6-50 3 prong receptacle, and L14-20 plug hoping to make some sort of adapter cable so I could use my welder with the generator. Is this possible with what I have? Can I just pull single phase 220 power from the X and Y out of the 4 prong plug (leaving the W disconnected)? If not, is there a generator that has a 220V single phase receptacle on it? Thanks. |
