Same fields. Each cell is that model's published text. A blank stays "Not published by manufacturer." The outlet chip does not hide either column.
| Spec | Maxstar 161 STH | TIG200 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | DC TIG and stick. |
| 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. | On 240 V: TIG 190 A and stick 185 A. On 120 V: TIG 145 A and stick 140 A. The lower limit is 10 A for either process. |
| 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%. | Not published by manufacturer |
| 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. | Dual-voltage 120/240 V input. Input amperes are not in that description. |
| Wire or rod size | Not published by manufacturer | Not published by manufacturer |
| Weight | 13 lb. (5.9 kg). | Not published by manufacturer |
| Material thickness | Not published by manufacturer | 7/16-inch steel in a single pass is tied to the 190 A, 240 V TIG sentence. The 10 A floor is described as mild enough for 24-gauge sheet metal. A 120 V thickness is not printed. |
