Plasma with Generator

[Johnny A]

Hello,
I bought a Hobart 250 Air Force Plasma cutter. It runs of a 20amp household outlet. I need to run it off a generator. I can't find any info what size generator will work. I emailed Hobart & have not heard back yet. I attached the link to the unit below. I figured someone on garage journal knows or knows someone that would know or someone who is doing it.




THanks

Should be fine on a 3000 watt or bigger.

voltage times amperage = wattage plus 30%
120vx20a=2400w+30% 3120 watts
Ensure your generator has a high enough amperage outlet.
