Hello! I have been silent forum reader for a few years, finally registered and need to ask for advice.
I have 17kw 3phase 380-450V (adjustable) diesel engine generator. About 40 years old, so, not really with fancy electronics, plain and simple generator. I am looking to buy plasma cutter, 60-70amp, and my question is can I use plasma cutter and power it from my generator? I never had plasma before, so I don't know, what specifics should I look for and what to avoid. My home electricity is 240V 25amp, no 3phase, not now, not in a foreseeable future. I can power compressor from mains and plasma from generator, if that is possible. Main cutting is for mild steel up to 2cm, with up to 4cm here and there, old rusty tractors, truck frames, etc.
What to look for, and is it doable?
