| Spec | Multimatic 255 | Rebel EMP 215ic |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG (GMAW), pulsed MIG (GMAW-P), flux-cored (FCAW), DC stick (SMAW), DC Lift-Arc TIG (GTAW), and pulsed TIG (GTAW-P). | GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and SMAW (stick). Flux-cored wire is listed in the wire-diameter table. |
| Output amp range | 5–350 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 | MIG: 230 A at 25.5 V, 60% duty cycle. Stick: 200 A at 28 V, 60% duty cycle. TIG: 275 A at 21 V, 60% 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 | Auto-Line 208–575 V, single-phase. Input amperes are not in the quick specs. | 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. |
