transformer

[steveburton]

hi all,

ive been offered a parweld xti 160 dv arc welder.
the owner tells me it is 110v
could someone tell me what size 110v transformer i would need for it?

regards,

steve

The "dv" means it's dual voltage so should also run off 240v with the correct plug fitted.

I have used one in work off 110v but using 3.2 rods it usually trips out the 16 amp supply.

We use a 5kva transformer or bigger if coming from a site transformer, with 32a socket on similar machine.

Found the manual here it autodetects mains input and requires 25A on 230volts.

That's some input current on 110V! Would be using it on 230v unless you had to use 110v
