Why does the 160a welder have a lower input capacity than the 135a welder?
What does the input capacity refer to? If it is a 5.1kW input capacity does this mean I'm fine to run the welder from a 6kva generator, or will surge at startup be greater?
The 160A model has a lower input capacity due to more efficient internal inverter technology. Input capacity is the total electrical power the welder consumes under full load. A 6 kVA generator is too small for a 5.1 kW input capacity because arc-striking power surges and inverter power factor losses require at least an 8 to 10 kVA generator.
Your video shows its compatible with aluminium wire but you've answered a question about aluminium welding as no. So is it compatible with aluminium wire welding or not?
We do not support aluminum welding wire. Please find out where the customer saw the video and check if there was a misrepresentation in the promotion.
