Generator power source for welding ?

You don’t need electronic avr….. my 6kVa lister with just a simple field control transformer (also a form of avr) will run all my inverter welders just fine.

im sure diesels with a bit more torque and heaps more rotating mass helps them run welders better than the petrol equivalent

I wonder if its something to do with the AVR, as the description on the warrior welding website for my genny says
"a modified AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) that reacts to an inductive load, delivering a non-fluctuating current"
I must phone them and ask sometime!

that shindawa welders are bloody nice machines.... some price though!

Bloody lovely thing to use.

Downside was I was welding the cracked underneath of the deck of a dead fish bulker on the hottest day so far.

Which was nice.

Lovely welder though.
