Key Specifications Feature Typical Specification Significance Welding Process MMA / ARC (Stick) Primary function is welding with coated electrodes (rods). Technology IGBT Inverter Advanced technology keeps the machine lightweight ($mathbf{4 text{ kg} text{ to } 8.5 text{ kg}}$) and provides a highly stable arc. Input Voltage $mathbf{220 text{ V} / 230 text{ V}}$ Single Phase Runs on standard household or workshop power, which is highly convenient. Current Range $20 text{ A} text{ to } 300 text{ A}$ (Advertised) The current can be adjusted over a very wide range for versatility. Rated Output $mathbf{180 text{ A}}$ or $mathbf{200 text{ A}}$ (More realistic max) Many technical sheets rate the stable, continuous output at $180 text{ A}$, which is sufficient for most $3.2 text{ mm}$ and $4.0 text{ mm}$ electrodes. Duty Cycle $60%$ at $40^{circ}text{C}$ A strong rating, meaning it can weld for 6 minutes continuously within a 10-minute period at the rated current (e.g., $180 text{ A}$). Electrode Size $1.6 text{ mm}$ to $4.0 text{ mm}$ (up to $5.0 text{ mm}$ supported) Handles all common rod sizes for various thicknesses of steel.
