Voltage!

Hi all,

Question for the electrical types please,

Can an AC/DC tig welder run from a 240V supply with an inverter?

Thanks

What is the normal input for the Tig set? - Volts, phases.

Do you mean can a three phase welder run from a single to three phase inverter?

I don't think so.

If it's a 240v welder yes

I'm guessing the TIG is 3 phase 415V? It won't be able to run from an inverter, but will probably only uses 2 phases of the 3 phase supply (so is single phase 415V). Many of the 415V TIGs have jumpers where the input wire goes in to allow them to be configured to 240V. Often there is a sticker on the inside of the panel showing the jumper positions for different voltages, or if you can find a manual that would have the info. They tend to require a big breaker for 240V. My Syncrowave was running from a 40 amp type D, but the manual said it would require 110 amps at full whack.
