[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3613989, member: 43724"] First, if you had read what I said you would have seen that the amperage would have been way lower, so no, it won't be an arc welder. Second, yes, I was over on the amperage IF all the protections built into the generator are working. I had a GFI in a house I rented that had over 40 amps pulled through it for over a year until it finally burned up (found out my living room and our office was fed behind it, both those rooms had the majority of our electronics on it). So you don't want to trust those. Third, 110 v at 20 amps can still kill someone, so why even take the chance. Either have a generator wired up properly or just run the few things you need off extension cords. [/QUOTE]
