| Spec | Handler 210MVP | MIG285 |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG and flux-cored. Spool-gun circuitry is described for aluminum wire. A gas solenoid and regulator are included. | The specifications table says output type MIG, lift TIG, and stick. The overview also names flux core. |
| Output amp range | 115 V: 25–140 A. 230 V: 25–210 A. | Max rated output: MIG 285 A, TIG 250 A, stick 250 A. The duty table prints MIG 285 A on 240 V and 120 A on 120 V, and stick and TIG 250 A on 240 V and 120 A on 120 V. |
| Rated duty cycle | 115 V: 90 A at 19 VDC, 20% duty cycle. 230 V: 150 A at 23 VDC, 30% duty cycle. | MIG: 30% at 285 A on 240 V and 30% at 120 A on 120 V. Stick: 30% at 250 A on 240 V and 30% at 120 A on 120 V. TIG: 30% at 250 A on 240 V and 30% at 120 A on 120 V. |
| Input voltage and plug | 115 V or 230 V, 60 Hz. Amps input at rated output: 20 A at 115 V and 24 A at 230 V. The cord includes 5-15P (115 V, 15 A) and 6-50P (230 V, 50 A) MVP plugs. | 1-phase, 120 V/240 V. Max inrush (I1max), columns MIG / stick / TIG: 120 V 34.2 / 42.5 / 25.3 A, and 240 V 57.4 / 53.5 / 35.7 A. Max rated (I1eff): 120 V 18.7 / 23.3 / 13.9 A, and 240 V 27.4 / 29.3 / 19.6 A. |
| Wire or rod size | Quick Select drive roll for .024 in. (0.6 mm) or .030/.035 in. (0.8/0.9 mm) solid wire, and .030/.035 in. (0.8/0.9 mm) flux-cored wire. | Not published by manufacturer |
| Weight | 79 lb. (35.8 kg). | The page says “weighing under 60 lbs.” It does not print a single net-weight number. |
| Material thickness | Mild steel thickness range 24 ga.–3/8 in., in a single pass. The sheet says thicker material is run with multiple passes and does not print that second maximum. | The overview says the 285 A output can weld materials up to 5/8 inch thick. |
