David -

12" plus arcs wouldn't seem to be very impressive output for a system 
pulling 60-70 Amps input power .......

Did you mean 12' arcs?

Thanks !!!   ,,,I  didnt think it would heat up so quickly, even with lots 
of airflow. I was just gonna run it off & on for da tricks or treaters.....

Now, how much overload can my 10kva take ?  (thats like 42 amp ,24/7 ? ) It 
should handle double that a minute or two at a time,..maybe more ?  but 
seems to pullin' 60-70 amp with the welder on max,...and thats enough :-) 
Im on a 50amp breaker, but never tripped it..

yea,..i could back off the welder,...but i  love thoese white, thick, 12" 
plus arcs !
