it works for my powcon inverter welder just fine.
i do use a 10hp balanced RPC to run it, i might add.
i might be able to get away with a balanced 7.5hp for short periods of time i would surmise .
i really didn't feel like a lot of experimentation with my selection of the RPC motor, i went heavy.
dependent on type of welder and amps you draw, you just may have similar results

First, I have never seen a welder that was AC/DC and 3 phase. An lot time miller rep old me that all AC/DC machines will be single phase.
Second, Running a welder off a converter will never weld properly. Yes it may lay down a bead that might look ok, but its not right.
