Hello All;
I am excited, as I have a brand-new HH187 in box, sitting in house, just waiting to be used...have question about power options. I thought long and hard about HH140 vs. HH187 due to power, but went with 187 due to posts/reputation and good price ($539). I didn't look into power requirements too hard though, as I have this available:
1) In garage, I have a 240V 15AMP Plug for my Irrigation Pump.
2) I have a generator 4500, with a L14-20R plug, that's rated at 17AMPs.
After purchasing, I see the 187 pulls 21.5 Amps full. I wondered if I could safely use either of these options at lower tap ratings without endangering wiring or welder?
Thanks in advance!
