I've a 12PTOC-3 Winco generator.
I'm assuming it's got greater than 5% THD but cannot find any specs on it.
Can I run the PA300 off it WITHOUT endangering the PA300? I don't want to fry the electronics. If it's hard to strike an arc or the electrode sticks that's OK but I don't want to damage almost $300 worth of welder.
Welcome, Newbury!
I googled but did not see any references to your model number. The Winco website does have a contact number on the home page, as well as sales and service pages: http://www.wincogen.com/
...so a quick phone call to speak to one of their techs would probably yield an answer. Probably safest to assume it is NOT <5% until you find out specifically.
What kind of work do you do with the PA300?
Thanks for the quick reply.Quote:

Assuming it's not <5%, againQuote:

none yet, but I'm anticipating a lot of outside, farm related stuff. I need to weld on the trailers and tractors.Quote:
