| Spec | Square Wave TIG 200 | MIG285 |
|---|---|---|
| Process | AC/DC TIG and stick. | The specifications table says output type MIG, lift TIG, and stick. The overview also names flux core. |
| Output amp range | 120 V: TIG 10–125 A and stick 10–90 A. 230 V: TIG 10–200 A and stick 10–170 A. A footnote prints 120 V AC TIG 110 A / 25%. | 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 | 120 V TIG: 125 A/25%, 100 A/40%, 85 A/60%. 120 V stick: 75 A/20%, 65 A/60%. 230 V TIG: 200 A/25%, 160 A/40%, 130 A/60%. 230 V stick: 170 A/20%, 100 A/60%. | 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 | 120/1/50/60 and 230/1/50/60. Input current at those rated outputs runs from 14 A to 21 A on 120 V and from 13 A to 25 A on 230 V. The highest 120 V figure is 21 A and the highest 230 V figure is 25 A. 120/230 V input cords are included. | 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. |
