To find starting amperage:
Step 1: Find code and use table to
find kVA/HP. If code is not listed,
multiply running amperage by six to
find starting amperage.
Step 2: Find Motor HP and Volts.
Step 3: Determine starting amper-
age (see example).
Welding generator amperage out-
put must be at least twice the
motor's running amperage.
(kVA/HP x HP x 1000) / Volts =
Starting Amperage
Example: Calculate starting amper-
age required for a 230 V, 1/4 HP mo-
tor with a motor start code of M.
Volts = 230, HP = 1/4, kVA/HP =
11.2
(11.2 x 1/4 x 1000) / 230 = 12.2A
Starting the motor requires 12.2
amperes.

1 Limit Load To 90% Of
Generator Output
Always start non-resistive (motor)
loads in order from largest to small-
est, and add resistive loads last.
2 5 Second Rule
If motor does not start within 5
seconds, turn off power to prevent
motor damage. Motor requires
more power than generator can
supply.
