Looking to buy tig machine to run on single phase 240v, seen the Paton 270 on welding direct at a reasonable price. Anyone have thoughts on these machine

The StandardTig 270 is a 3-phase only machine (400v) isn't it?

The 250 is single phase.

My mistake you guys are correct, how is this machine will be welding bevelled pipe at home etc RFC so needing a decent duty cycle

According to google

• Duty cycle: 45% at 250A, 100% at 167A

that sounds pretty decent tbf but I am wondering how long would it last, obviously wouldn’t be running flat out all the time, I was wondering if any guys have experience with the patons
