Power To The People Thursday, March 1, 2001 Power To The People (NAPSA)—Generating a lot of interest among many Americans these days is the idea of protecting their homes and families from the problems that can come from power outages, with a welding generator. Ice, snow, hurricanes, fires, accidents, any numberof things— can cut your family off from your ordinary electrical power source. A generator of your own can make a big difference in comfort and safety. It can also be used to run tools and thelike out in the yard where there’s no electricity. Like a “regular” generator, a welding generator provides 120 VAC and 220 VAC auxiliary power, producing 3,500 to 10,000 watts. The comparison stops there, though, as a welding generator also lets you weld steel and sometimes aluminum for household projects and repairs. What’s more, you essentially get the welder free since the generators cost about the same.
