   I'd be laying-down   
   (* 270 29.5) ;; 7965.0   
   8kW   
   at the arc.   
   (actually I was using 28.5V (?) in that weld pictured, to avoid   
   toe-groove on the vertical plate, even though there was onset of some   
   "misting" (not full spatter))   
   That's 10kW at the wall with an inverter, or probably 16kW with a   
   traditional transformer machine.   
   (/ 16e3 240) ;; 66.66666666666667   
   Which would be 67Amps at the wall on 240V.   
      
   I wanted to speak with people who have a machine they plug in in a shed,   
   probably from an "extension lead" from the house.   
      
   Happy times everyone.
