what is the duty cycle on this welder?
909041
Ok, got to my manual: the duty cycle is 20% (@ 90 amps/23.6V). Hope that helps!

When I get into the shop I'll check the manual for you. Whatever the duty cycle may be, I can attest to the fact that this little unit has never crapped out on me. I use this welder every day and I've never had a problem with it. My welding teacher originally recommended this type to me.

It does very well on 6010. I have used 3/32 and 1/8. this is a great welder.

I think its 1 year warranty, a great tig welder. I have built several roll cages and t tops. The welder is very smooth.

What type of load are you attempting to power ( welder , 1hp compressor, etc) ?

So, according to the manual for this welder it should be plunged in to 20A breaker. 20A at 120V is 2400 watts. You might be able to get away with smaller but I do not have any data on actual current draw by the device. It would be the power output plus any power used by the device for the total power used.

Gasless, it's 120 volt flux core welder. Its a real handy piece of equipment to have around and is made well. I have done several small welding projects and having the ease and portability of this product versus lugging around my Lincoln stick welder or carrying gas bottles with you is a nice treat. Has good heat settings to manage burn through on the most delicate materials. Good buy

I took it to a welder and he welded an extension on it, haven't used it yet waiting for weather to be good but am sure it will work fine.

http://www.everlastgenerators.com/Brouchers/Power-Tig-250-EX.pdf According to the above data sheet, the tig will operate at 65% duty cycle, 250A. The stick is going to be less than half that. I purchased this welder for my brother-in-law so I don't have real life experience backing the specs up.

It's a nice little welder , I have welded 1/2 inch steel with no problem. But I don't think it would last long if you over worked it. If you want to weld for hours at a time , get a bigger welder.

50A--240V 2Pole 3Wire Grd. I use the 15A 120V Plug. I did some welding today using 120V 15A Plug with the welder set at 100A and no problems.

You will need a generator of about 3000W, to be on the safe side. Remember, the welder's duty cycle is about 10% (weld for one minute and let it cool off for 1o minutes). This will help the generator too.

20 amp for 110 and a 30 amp for 220 ... Only time ur gonna need 220 volts would b to weld Aluminum... Duty cycle is better on 110 also !! Machine works great .

What type & dia. stick rods are you welding with? The smaller 6010/ 6011 X 3/32" dia., usually burns hot BUT the riostat should still work to some degree but cause a much colder start whereby making it harder to keep an arc. Welding on thin metal will also appear to make turning down the amps not very effective. Try welding on 1/4" - 1/2" & adjust the amps up & down...if you still don't see any difference, then your amp adjustment is defective. I have no problems with my welder and am very happy this its performance. Thanks!

I think what you are asking is what the duty cycle is. It all depends on the heat setting you are using at the time. The duty cycle at about 140 amps is close to 100%, and drops to about 30% at 250 amps. I don't know what you will be welding, but even on pretty heavy iron (3/8" or so) using .035 solid wire and co2/ argon gas, I seldom ever use more than 125, to 140 amps, so I never exceed the 100% duty cycle. But I also very seldom have long enough welds at a time to matter. The welder I had before I bought the Ironman 230, was just a 150 amp with about a 30% duty cycle at 120 amps, and it was still going after nearly 30 years, and I used it for some pretty big projects.

I am not a pro. I think that 1/8" thick metal, is you probably can weld that thickness metal with the machine at the 100%the duty cycle. 3/32" rod is the maximum rod size I would use. You can weld 1/4" metal in a pinch, with multiple passes, let you welder cool down, so you don't burn out the welder. Good luck

6 Feet Long. Also, want to say that we are very satisfied with this welder.
