Spec Maxstar 161 STH Power MIG 260
Process Stick (SMAW), Lift-Arc TIG (GTAW), high-frequency TIG (GTAW), and pulsed TIG (GTAW-P). High frequency and pulse are marked STH model only. MIG and flux-cored.
Output amp range 120 V: 5–130 A DC TIG and 20–90 A DC stick. 240 V: 5–160 A DC TIG and 20–160 A DC stick. 30–300 A. Wire feed speed 50–700 ipm (1.3–17.7 m/min).
Rated duty cycle TIG, 120 V: 90 A at 13.6 VDC, 100% duty cycle, and 130 A at 15.2 VDC, 30%. TIG, 240 V: 110 A at 14.4 VDC, 100%, and 160 A at 16.4 VDC, 20%. Stick, 120 V: 60 A at 22.4 VDC, 100%, and 90 A at 23.6 VDC, 30%. Stick, 240 V: 110 A at 24.4 VDC, 100%, and 160 A at 26.4 VDC, 20%. 250 A / 26.5 V / 40%.
Input voltage and plug 120–240 V, 1-phase. Amps input at the higher duty-point ratings: TIG 22.6 A at 120 V and 15.05 A at 240 V; stick 23.16 A at 120 V and 22.55 A at 240 V. Separate 120 V and 240 V power cords are included. 208/230/460/575 V, 1-phase, 60 Hz. Input current at rated output: 59/55/27/21 A in that voltage order. The 230 V figure is 55 A. This check treats that 230 V figure as the 240 V outlet class.
