Welcome to the forum obiewelds,
as Cruizer mentioned WATTS= Amps x Voltage
You'll have to look at the specs of the machines you are interested in.
1- Miller Dynasty 280
rated specs 235 WELDING amps will draw 30amps at 230v
30amps x 230v = 6900watts.
You need an engine drive with at least 6900watts of auxiliary generator power.Ed Conley

Thank you fellas. I'm sorry for my lack of explanation I have little knowledge when it comes to electrical and hooking the welders up. This was a big help.Welding for 6 years.
Ready to learn as much as I can.

The watts that enter in the wellder can be calculated as LINE VOLTS x WELDER INPUT CURRENT . ( example: 230V X 55 amper = 12650 watts )
This is the max power required by the welder machine.
If you want to convert to HP , just divide by 750 (example: 12650 : 750 =16.86 HP.)
However if you are not using the full welder current a gen of 7.5 HP or less can supply the power required .
