Welder Generator Mig






Welder Generator Mig
2kw Generator powerful enough.....?

Is a 2kw generator powerful enough to power a small mig welder?

It may be marginally adequate. I can use my wire feed welder on a 15A circuit (1800W) but at high current settings it will trip the breaker. It now has a dedicated 20A circuit (2400W) directly from the electrical panel and there are no problems.
I'd suggest getting a larger generator or operating the welder at the low current settings if possible. If you have both the welder and generator plug them together and give it a try. Nothing to loose and perhaps the only way to get a definitive answer.
