I run my plasma and welders off a 6.8kw generator all the time with no problems to either. ridgid's put out a really smooth current. about 200 hours or more on both generators i run. Hypertherm says their powermax 45xp should be hooked up to at least a 12kw generator to run full bore. but you wont ever get close to that with sealed units as that machine can cut like 3/4 of an inch and your only cutting 1/8 inch. so the watts required will not be nearly 12kw. i only run the 30xp though. way smaller. but regardless you should be able to cut sealed units no problem. as for the machine problems let me get back to that
