Is it possible, and if so what size generator would you need to run a lincoln ac 225 stick rod welding machine. Also, I have recieved a used welding machine ac 225 and was wondering what is the best way to check to see if it is working properly. I thought that it might be best to take it by a welder and let him look it over. I have not hooked it up to see if it will even run. The leads are all clean, there are no breaks in the sheaths. Thanks

It is a 230v welder x 50 amp draw at max output is about 11,500 watts. You will pobably be using it at about half power,so a 5 or 6k watt generator should work just fine.
I'm so happy that I can actually be useful today. I sell welding supplies, so I get these questions alot.
