What is the best generator to power my Millermatic 251 mig welder?

Question:I know it has to be able to supply at least 10,000 watts of power. thanks!

Answers:
if your welder needs 10,000 watts of power then you need a 13,000 watt generator to drive it to handle surges so it dont burn out the voltage regualtor in your generator... a generator this size will cost you about 2000 dollars or more depending on brand and features

---

Multiply the amp rating by the volts supply. This will get you close to the necessary wattage needed.

If you get a 15 Kw generator, it should handle you needs. Why don't you check out the Millermatic 251 website and contact link for their recommendations.
