| Spec | Millermatic 252 | Rebel EMP 215ic |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG (GMAW) and flux-cored (FCAW). | GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and SMAW (stick). Flux-cored wire is listed in the wire-diameter table. |
| Output amp range | 30–300 A. | MIG setting range: 15 A / 14.75 V to 130 A / 20.5 V on 120 V, and to 235 A / 26.0 V on 230 V. TIG: 5 A to 130 A on 120 V and to 200 A on 230 V. Stick: 6 A to 130 A on 120 V and 16 A to 180 A on 230 V. |
| Rated duty cycle | 200 A at 24 VDC, 60% duty cycle. 250 A at 26.5 VDC, 40% duty cycle. | MIG, 230 V: 205 A / 24.25 V at 25% and 235 A / 26 V at 15%. MIG, 120 V, 20 A breaker: 130 A / 20.5 V at 20%. TIG, 230 V: 180 A / 17.2 V at 30%. Stick, 230 V: 180 A / 27.2 V at 25%. The table prints more duty points at 40%, 60%, and 100%. |
| Input voltage and plug | 208/240 V, single-phase, 60 Hz, or 230/460/575 V, single-phase, 60 Hz. On the 208/240 V row, amps input at the 200 A, 60% rating are 57.0 A at 208 V and 50.8 A at 240 V. | 120 V or 230 V, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz, ±10%. Imax MIG: 20.8 A on a 15 A breaker and 28.6 A on a 20 A breaker at 120 V; 30 A at 230 V (27.6 A at 25% duty cycle). The installation guide’s maximum recommended time-delay fuse or breaker is 30 A, and the maximum normal fuse is 50 A, for both supply voltages. Input current at maximum output in that guide is 30 A. |
| Wire or rod size | Solid/stainless steel .023–.045 in. (0.6–1.2 mm). Flux-cored .030–.045 in. (0.8–1.2 mm). 12 in. spool. | Mild steel solid wire .023–.035 in. (0.6–0.9 mm). Stainless solid wire .030–.035 in. (0.8–0.9 mm). Flux-cored wire .030–.045 in. (0.8–1.1 mm). Aluminum .030–3/64 in. (0.8–1.2 mm). Spool size 4–8 in. |
| Weight | 205 lb. (93 kg). | 42 lb (19.1 kg). Dimensions 23 × 9 × 16 in. |
