I was given a 220VAC 50Amp welder.
I have 30Amp 220VAC portable generator.
Are you saying the welder is rated at 50 amps input from the supply or
50 amps output to the work?
I do not know the answer to that question. I assume the plug is capable of
50 amps but also the welder has a huge duty cycle slider I can control.
Obviously I'm not a welder so it's likely I can experiment to keep the duty
cycle such that the main panel 30 amp circuit breaker won't blow.
