lincoln power 180C welder

tyson_cbr · 10-16-2009, 07:20 PM

hey was thining about getting this machine but im a bit confused about the this: It's a portable wire welder designed for use with industrial 230 volt input power, so you can weld on thicker material - up to 3/16" with MIG welding and 1/2" with gas-less flux-cored welding.

I know that it means i can get more power out of it which is what i need cuz i cant afford a 220 MIG, but i dont understand how it achieves so much power? I also dont understand if it is the small plug type or do i have to have a 220 plug in? Anybody know whats up with these things looks like a good deal to me if i was just more knowledgeable about the features it would help.

That is a 220V Mig welder.

It is Most likely the 50AMP Large Edison connector (220V single phase)

May or may not have the bottom Neutral Pin

Also it is an inverter style welder, much more efficient then the older 'magnetic' or transformer based welders you may be used too.

ok damn i thought 180 meant is 180v lol so this would be safe to weld 14inch and 3/16 in a single pass. . i need to be able to do frame work and ive also been lookin at the miller 140 everyone says they cant weld 1/4inch and 3/16 but it says it can on the ads
