Hi Dave- Thank you. I should have been more clear. At my day job we stick mostly black sched 40 gas piping. I wanted the alum tig for my own marine pipe work on my boat. I think the PA 300 will work out at work. Like I said, I'm tired of lugging around the big transformers.
I have another question: When the work is away from the electrical panel, would you run a 220 extension cord to the inverter and then have short leads, or would you leave the welder at the electrical panel and run lead to the work like I would with a transformer? I would like to keep the inverter close to the work so I can tweak the settings as the conditions change, but am unsure of how the inverter will react to this. With the transformer, I usually pick a happy medium setting and deal with it rather than running back to the welder. Will the PA 300 handle hundreds of feet of lead if need be? Thanks.
