[Henry] Henry 5K Power Requirements

Tue, 12 Feb 2002 06:39:30 -0800

Dan, I read occasionally about guys running 8K's, although I'm sure they
never run them over 1500W output.  :-)  What the heck are they running for a
supply - three phase?  My welder runs on a 240V 50A breaker, I guess maybe
that would hack an 8K if one was careful.  Might need to install zerk
fittings on the spindle of the power company's meter, though.
73, Jerry W5KP
