| Process | Stick (SMAW). | GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and SMAW (stick). Flux-cored wire is listed in the wire-diameter table. |
| Output amp range | 120 V: 10–110 A. 240 V: 10–210 A. | 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 | 120 V: 65 A at 60% duty cycle and 50 A at 100% duty cycle. 240 V: 135 A at 60% duty cycle and 105 A at 100% 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%. |
| Input voltage and plug | 1-phase power, 120 V or 240 V, 50/60 Hz. Maximum amps input at rated load output: 27.8 A at 120 V and 44.9 A at 240 V. The cord includes multi-voltage plugs for 120 V and 240 V. | 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. |
