| Spec | Rebel EMP 235ic | TIG230 |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG, TIG, and stick. The wire table includes flux-cored diameters in the ordering copy: up to .052 in. cored wire. | AC/DC TIG and stick. The page lists nine AC waveforms, including square, sine, triangle, and hybrid. |
| Output amp range | Current range 5–150 A on 120 V and 5–250 A on 230 V. Maximum output 250 A / 30 V. | TIG 2–230 A. Stick 10–200 A. |
| Rated duty cycle | 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. | TIG: 35% at 230 A, 60% at 175 A, 100% at 136 A. Stick: 35% at 200 A, 60% at 152 A, 100% at 118 A. The duty lines are not split by voltage. |
| Input voltage and plug | 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. | 90–275 V, 50–60 Hz. That range covers a 120 V outlet and a 240 V outlet. Input amperes are not in the specifications block. |
