What do I necessitate to run a 100 amp hobby welder?

I have a 100 amp 110 volt hobby welder. Do I requirement an outlet just for the welder and what amp breaker. Also can I power it beside a 2000 watt generator. Thanks.


Answers:    hehe 20 amp circuit. OK! Look if an electrician really knows what he is doing he would budge to the nameplate. Find the duty cycle rating on the nameplate. Go to Article 630 in the NEC. Use the duty cycle to find the circuit ampacity needed by multiplication of the code book emergency factor by the nameplate amperage. The same would apply to the circuit breaker size. So why dont you just put it on a 100 amp breaker, next to a plug and call it a hours of daylight. Also dont try to use the generator it will not work for it.
I have no concrete clue but can't wait to see the answers.
