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 | Power MIG 215 MPi | MIG285 |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG, flux-cored, DC stick, and DC TIG. | The specifications table says output type MIG, lift TIG, and stick. The overview also names flux core. |
| Output amp range | 120 V: 20–140 A DC. 230 V: 20–220 A DC. Max OCV 56 V. | 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. |
| Rated duty cycle | 215 A / 24.8 V / 30%. The specifications table prints that one duty-cycle figure beside input power 120/230/1/60. 215 A is above the printed 120 V output range of 20–140 A. | 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 | 120/230/1/60. Input current at rated output: 120 VAC, 15 A effective and 22 A max; 230 VAC, 15.9 A effective and 29 A max. | 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 | Wire feed speed 50–500 ipm (1.3–12.7 m/min). A wire-diameter range is not in the specifications table. | Not published by manufacturer |
| Weight | 48 lb (21.8 kg). | The page says “weighing under 60 lbs.” It does not print a single net-weight number. |
| Material thickness | Not published by manufacturer | The overview says the 285 A output can weld materials up to 5/8 inch thick. |
