Hi all,

I know, again with the dam welding topic !

I have a Honda EU20 and want to run a inverter welder for emergency repairs whilst travelling remote.

need some advise from those that actually use a Honda EU20 or equivelant to power an inverter welder!
(please correct me if I'm wrong but this is a 2KVA generator)

getting mixed/confusing info from different sellers of different amperage inverters.( all MMA stick welders) below is response from 4 different sellers .

80 amp inverter - you need a 3KVA geni, it should work ???
105 amp inverter - you would need at least 3 KVA geni.
140 amp inverter- not sure what your geni output is, but it should work ???
200 amp inverter - yes, it sure will.

In a forum thread I read that if amps were kept low, the geni wouldn't trip but the above responses have confused me on this issue.

cheers,

Evan
