Hi all, so I have been offered a SWP280/4 for £550 with 2 year warranty.
,Ow looking at th specs it says it gives a 200amp current, but then it says it has a 280amp welding ciurrent.
How can that be?
Its 280 amps if your supply is good with no voltage drop, but the duty cycle is rubbish. If your treating it as a 200 amp plant the the duty cycle is actually decent. I own one has plenty of work done but never gave any trouble, it's Chinese but seems well built "for the money if that's possible"
I am after a welder to do a lot on 6mm steel plates, the base on a narrow boat, and the extension needs to be around 170 foot, the nearest power supply there is so i am guessing there will be a bit of voltage drop there.
