I know this is old but it's a good thread, hoping I can piggy back. Mep 006a. Talked to generator guys. Running a welding machine, big old school lincoln or miller single phase I'm pushing out nearly 100 amps. I was looking at the mep 006a and was told running single on three isn't a good idea but it can be easily transformed. Reading on here saw you'd have to change your voltages as well? If I'm running more thAn one machine I don't think the 60kw is overkill. Even one machine I'm pushing the limits on a 30. I need some help asap please. Thoughts concerns. Phase converters are expensive. I've heard the old 60's are extremely loud too but for 2,000 bucks it's kind of hard to beat. Tig and stick both have higher arc start points and amperage jumps which people say may not be good, but I find it hard to believe that anything under 60 kw could handle it.
