| Spec | Power MIG 215 MPi | Rebel EMP 215ic |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG, flux-cored, DC stick, and DC TIG. | GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and SMAW (stick). Flux-cored wire is listed in the wire-diameter table. |
| Output amp range | 120 V: 20–140 A DC. 230 V: 20–220 A DC. Max OCV 56 V. | 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 | 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, 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 | 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. | 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 | Wire feed speed 50–500 ipm (1.3–12.7 m/min). A wire-diameter range is not in the specifications table. | 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 | 48 lb (21.8 kg). | 42 lb (19.1 kg). Dimensions 23 × 9 × 16 in. |
