Key Specifications (LV-400) Feature Typical Specification Significance Welding Process MMA / ARC (Stick) Uses coated electrodes (rods) to weld mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Technology IGBT Inverter This modern technology makes the machine highly efficient, gives it a very stable arc, and allows it to be extremely lightweight ($mathbf{approx 4.5 text{ kg} text{ to } 7 text{ kg}}$). Input Voltage $mathbf{220 text{ V} / 240 text{ V}}$ Single Phase Operates on standard household/workshop power, making it highly accessible. Output Current Range $mathbf{20 text{ A} text{ to } 180 text{ A}}$ (Common) While some listings mention a higher theoretical output, the reliable, sustained maximum for single-phase power is typically in this range. Electrode Size $1.6 text{ mm}$ to $4.0 text{ mm}$ Capable of handling most common rod sizes, including the $3.2 text{ mm}$ and $4.0 text{ mm}$ rods used for thicker fabrication. Duty Cycle $mathbf{60%}$ at its maximum continuous rated current (e.g., $160 text{ A}$ or $180 text{ A}$) Indicates the machine is capable of welding continuously for 6 minutes within a 10-minute period, suitable for production work.
