How many amps does it weld at 100percent
619985
The Millermatic 212 welds 130amps @ 100% duty cycle 230v. Mig welding is not really measured in amps because of so many other factors that the operator controls. Wire stick-out angle of your gun and travel speed for example. The machine is rated for a solid 3/8 in a single pass but is capable of quite a bit more with multiple passes. Thanks for the inquiry. Hope to hear from you soon. Roger Inman

Same as last answer what are you welding, type of rod your using, amp setting, polarity, plugged into 110v or 220v. Might be best to find someone that is an experienced welder and have them look at it. This has been the best little welder I have owned. Love welding with this thing.

It's a straight 3 plug 4 wire outlet (not a twist lock type) and as long as your welder does not draw more than 50 amps at 240v you are all set.

I haven't tried welding aluminum, but one thing I know because I have tested it: it's good for the 1/16 and more and less for the 5/64 and 3/32 as it seems to need some extra 5 to 10 amperes more to burn properly these last ones, (I have tried to make a nice welding with these last 2 electrodes using this welding machine but the weld simply cools down to fast).Using the 1/8 electrode for mild steel; well this machine won't burn it, not even using the 1/8 SS electrodes which I feel are softer.

I have owned the chicago electric welder and the hot max 100 amp welder.The chicago electric was ok, but itt just quite over a two year period. I think because it did not have a thermal overload switch, I may be wrong. One thing Idon't like about the chicago electric and I believe the hot max is there are no relacement parts. Between the two welders, the spec. Sheet favors the hot max, you have a higher duty cycle at different ampes, 60 vs 30. I have had the hot max for, I believe for about a year and as soon as send this email it may brake on me. I hope not, and good luck with your choice I have owned the chicago electric welder and the hot max 100 amp welder.The chicago electric was ok, but itt just quite over a two year period.

You can not used this unit on 115v this unit is for dc volts,you need to get a ac volt& amp. meter. You can find them in any welding supple out let.

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.

Sorry, I can't answer this question. I bought the welder for my husband, but we returned it because it didn't provide enough output for what he wanted.

The manufacturer's website (which you should check out before purchasing for lots of useful information regarding these welders) http://www.everlastgenerators.com states that it should be capable of 60% duty cycle as full current 250A. This is better than most other welders in its class, but it achieves this by having an always on cooling fan which some people find to be loud. The fan hasn't really bothered me, though.

welding machine not only works with 220 volts. I tell that to date it has not failed me and is more than I expected friend.

I dont remember the specs on but it was 50 or 100 amp limit, but as the wire is pretty thin its hard to believe it wont fry. Ive had it up to 60 amps for a few seconds only

Input 230 volt ac , 22 amps , 60 hz .output 35 volt DC 135 amps. Output is DC for mig welders .

I believe it is rated to 100 amps. You might check with Watt's up to see if you are within limits.

yes it will but you will need to turn the temp down to 1. Change the heat setting to match the material. Additionally I have not changed the wire speed once it has been dialed in to the material that is being welded..

12.5 amps or less. Depends on the setting. The quality on this unit is atypical of Friedrich units. This one's made in china. Poor quality compared to the USA made units. I would not buy it again. Too expensive to send back or have serviced.

This welder has a low duty cycle (20% if I remember well), are you sure you did not exceed the percentage of use per hour?... just an idea, I hope you did not burn it.

It includes a 100amp and a 60 amp cutler hammer breaker. It has a metal interlock.
