welder calculation assumption

[cvirgil467]

We are doing an auto repair shop and the owner does not know what types of welders he will be using. Anyone know typcial electrcial loads for welders just for preliminary calculation purposes?

Thanks.

Welder outlets are typically 50A 240V. If you're asking for a load calculation, I don't know. I'd figure it at 12kW as it's under 3 hours.
