MIG285 vs TIG200
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 | MIG285 | TIG200 |
|---|---|---|
| Process | The specifications table says output type MIG, lift TIG, and stick. The overview also names flux core. | DC TIG and stick. |
| Output amp range | 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. | 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 | 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. | Not published by manufacturer |
| Input voltage and plug | 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. | 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 | The page says “weighing under 60 lbs.” It does not print a single net-weight number. | Not published by manufacturer |
| Material thickness | The overview says the 285 A output can weld materials up to 5/8 inch thick. | 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. |
