| Spec | Multimatic 220 AC/DC | TIG225X |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG (GMAW), flux-cored (FCAW), DC stick (SMAW), AC/DC TIG (GTAW), and pulsed TIG (GTAW-P). | AC/DC TIG and stick. The page tells the operator to use AC for aluminum and magnesium and DC for steel, stainless, and most other metals. |
| Output amp range | MIG: 30–230 A. DC stick: 30–200 A. AC/DC TIG: 20–210 A. The specifications table splits those ranges by voltage: MIG 30–125 A on 120 V and 30–230 A on 240 V; stick 30–90 A on 120 V and 30–200 A on 240 V; TIG 20–140 A on 120 V and 20–210 A on 240 V. | TIG 10–225 A. Stick 10–180 A. |
| Rated duty cycle | MIG: 120 V, 105 A at 19.2 V, 60% duty cycle; 240 V, 200 A at 24 V, 20% duty cycle and 170 A at 21.5 V, 40% duty cycle. Stick: 120 V, 90 A at 23.6 V, 40%; 240 V, 200 A at 28.4 V, 15%. TIG: 120 V, 130 A at 15.2 V, 40%; 240 V, 210 A at 18.4 V, 20%. | TIG: 40% at max output, and 100% at 108 A on 120 V or 155 A on 240 V. Stick: 40% at max output, and 100% at 76 A on 120 V or 139 A on 240 V. |
| Input voltage and plug | 120/240 V, single-phase, 50/60 Hz. Amps input at rated output: MIG 23.3 A at 120 V and 27.2 A at the 200 A / 20% 240 V rating; stick 24.5 A at 120 V and 31.3 A at 240 V; TIG 24.0 A at 120 V and 22.4 A at 240 V. | 120 V / 240 V, single-phase, 50/60 Hz. Input amperes and a plug name are not in the specifications list. |
| 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. Wire feed speed in the table is 60–600 ipm. | Not published by manufacturer |
| Weight | 56 lb. (25.4 kg). | 41 lb (18.5 kg). |
| Material thickness | Not published by manufacturer | The page says it can weld materials up to 1/2 inch thick. |
