The thread on a studio without water falls in line with my needs. I want
to put together a small seasonal (and hopefully quite easily portable)
setup powered by a gas generator (5000 watts).
If anyone has experience with operating an electric kiln thusly, are there
any suggestions or pitfalls to look out for? I believe a 240 v - 19 amp
kiln might be the largest one powerwise which one could use on a constant
power draw based on the assumption that kilns do not exert a heavy power
surge or kick-in upon startup. Location and length of usable time prohibit
propane or wood as a fuel source.
Thanks for any useful feedback.

Hi Diane,
There are lots of people here who do pottery and many who use generators,
but not in combination - that I know of!
Am replying via Clayart as maybe someone will be able to advise if this is
where a 3-phase kiln would be useful? What size were you thinking of?
