    Now the generator can not run the phase converter properly. Just not enough oomph. It will get it started on the third attempt, but the limit is running 3hp motors. Everything bigger it just cuts out from low voltage.

    Came across some UK welder manufacturers. They make large capacity single phase machines. Mig, Tig, arc and plasma cutter, the oxford plasma cutters even have a "heat" function.

    E-go says around $100 freight for my superceded welder depot to depot, except they don't appear to have a depot in Rocky, only Bundaberg & Mackay.

    I am surprised how cheap that freight is. I would have expected for it to be triple that.
    Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

    I'll be back home in a month, will pull the thing out of storage and re-read the label. 99% sure it had a single phase hookup option.
