running a 3phase MIG welder on a rotary converter setup - doable?impractical? impossible?
moving OUT of my shop and back into my garage at home. shop has three
phase. I want to buy a used MIG, but lots of the ones I see are 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 :-) toolie == ps-replies by e-mail, if any, please remove the weirdstuff from my address before you click 'send' - thanks == |
