Given that there have been several topics on 3 phase welders running on
1 phase power, rotary converters, phase shifters, etc. What is the concencus( if there is one) on the 3 phase Bobcat welder ?It would seem to; Be an OK AC/DC CC/CV power source for multi process. Be able to put out 10 or 11Kw of 3 phase that could support medium/high current tig and plasma cutting machines. Probably/perhaps cost effective, given that a rotary converter in this capacity is about 60% of the Bobcat's price and domestic wiring 'might' need upgrading to support a converter. Independant of power company's reluctance to bring in 3 ph. Portable, though heavy.
Against that; noise, exhaust smoke, weight, need to be outside, or at least vented to outside.
Thoughts please ?
tnx
