I would like to have the ability to weld off-site, without the need to

buy a dedicated engine welder. I have a Thermal Arc LS-300 inverter

stick welder, and a Honda 5 kW generator.



This would not be for big welding projects. More like, weld some

lifting eye to some machine to lift it for scrap, make a makeshift

ramp, weld scrap together to make a scrap pile more stable, that sort

of thing.



Do you think that I will be able to weld with 1/8" rod, with a 20A

220v outlet on the Honda 5 kw generator, without tripping the breaker

too often?



20A 220v = 4.4 kW



Welding at 35v 120A = 4200 kW



I have a feeling that I will be able to do it, if I keep the arc

short. Right or wrong?
