| Spec | Rebel EMP 215ic | Rebel EMP 235ic |
|---|---|---|
| Process | GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and SMAW (stick). Flux-cored wire is listed in the wire-diameter table. | MIG, TIG, and stick. The wire table includes flux-cored diameters in the ordering copy: up to .052 in. cored wire. |
| Output amp range | 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. | Current range 5–150 A on 120 V and 5–250 A on 230 V. Maximum output 250 A / 30 V. |
| Rated 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%. | At 104°F (40°C): MIG 120 A / 19 V at 40% on 120 V and 235 A / 26 V at 40% on 230 V. Stick 90 A / 23.6 V at 40% on 120 V and 210 A / 28.4 V at 25% on 230 V. TIG 130 A / 15.2 V at 40% on 120 V and 240 A / 19.6 V at 40% on 230 V. |
| Input voltage and plug | 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. | Primary voltage 120 VAC and 208/230 VAC, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz. Supply range 90–270 VAC. Supply plug 230 V, NEMA 6-50P. A separate accessory is a 230 V to 120 V, 15 A power adapter (W4014000). Input amperes are not in the specifications table. |
| Wire or rod size | 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. | Mild steel .023–.035 in. (0.6–0.9 mm). Stainless .030–.035 in. (0.8–0.9 mm). Aluminum .030–.045 in. (0.8–1.2 mm). The introduction also says up to .045 in. solid wire, up to .052 in. cored wire, rods up to 5/32 in., and TIG rods up to 3/16 in. Spools 4, 8, and 12 in. |
