Abstract

The subject innovation relates to engine driven welding systems and methods regulating an environmentally controlled electrode compartment within storage constraints to maintain electrode integrity regardless of environmental factors outside the container. Various sensors and controllers which directly or indirectly provide input to the engine of the engine driven welder are used to facilitate such regulation, which is conducted at least in part using the engine itself.
