| Rated duty cycle | 120 V: 110 A at 19.5 VDC, 60% duty cycle. 240 V: 160 A at 22.0 VDC, 60% 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 | 120 V: 27.0 A, single-phase, 50/60 Hz. 240 V: 28.9 A, single-phase, 50/60 Hz. The sheet says the cord uses MVP plugs for 120 V and 240 V and does not name a breaker size. | 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 | Included 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 | 35 lb. | The page says “weighing under 60 lbs.” It does not print a single net-weight number. |
| Material thickness | 120 V: 24 ga.–3/16 in. steel and 18 ga.–1/8 in. aluminum. 240 V: 24 ga.–3/8 in. steel and 18 ga.–3/8 in. aluminum. | The overview says the 285 A output can weld materials up to 5/8 inch thick. |
