Amateur/enthusiast welder here:
I am looking to buy a new welder and I would like a multiprocess quality machine.
I have an issue with the power grid, in the sense that the voltage fluctuates from 190 to 250 V, depending on the time of the day.
Therefore, I concluded that I will need a welder with PFC.
I am not entirely sure if the PFC function also offers better protection for the welder or only ensures a stable current when the grid voltage fluctuates.
I saw that GYS Multipearl 211-4 has a flexible voltage function, which allows the welder to work on a really wide range, but I am not sure about their reliability and as a minus point -they are kind of expensive.
The other option that I discovered is Esab Rogue 210 Pro which has PFC and is cheaper, or the Lincoln Speedtec 200
Any thoughts/ sugestions on either one?
Or a different brand/model altogether?
