I am a self proclaimed electro-ignoramus and don't know a watt from a what and need to buy a generator.
Some online research has thrown up a lot of variables: some ads have watt capacity others have KVA, inverter/non inverter, petrol/diesel, 2 stroke/4 stroke etc etc
Can anyone give me some advice as to what to look for? I will be owner building and want a generator to run general power tools which will include a small inverter arc welder (which are graded by Amps) of either 140 - 170amps (yet to buy it).
I will mostly be using it alone so there is not likely to be more than one piece of equipment operating at one time - unless in the evenings I have a lamp on as well.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
