Good point - just checked the manual for my own RTech MTS255 and it says this, which seems more optimistic than what I'd described aboveMost decent welder manufacturers will give a recommended minimum generator size.
Inverters are generally far less demanding of power supplies in terms of current, but less tolerant of voltage variations.Good point - just checked the manual for my own RTech MTS255 and it says this, which seems more optimistic than what I'd described above

Thanks for advice. That was my problem, I spoke with 3 different suppliers and they were saying different stories. And I got confused One was saying 10kva with AVR is what be good,next said it would be to weak.Most decent welder manufacturers will give a recommended minimum generator size.
What are you welding?
If you can use arc for the thicker stuff you cam get away with a smaller generator than if you need to use the mig at 250a
My main welding is in a farms,repairing trailers and feeders. Done few digger buckets that was 12mm thick steel. But I think you right, for thicker steel better to use mma. ThanksWhat are you welding?
